About

CAVU Wealth Management serves individuals (both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth), retirement plans, charitable organizations, and corporate clients, providing discretionary investment supervisory services, financial planning, and retirement‑plan advisory. The firm also offers participant account management for held‑away accounts (such as 401(k)s and HSAs) and delivers written financial plans and hourly consultations based on each client’s circumstances.

Portfolios are developed after detailed suitability data collection and are managed on a discretionary basis according to stated objectives, with account reviews at least quarterly and annual client meetings to update goals. The firm uses a mix of asset allocation, fundamental and technical analysis, mutual funds and ETFs, and option strategies (including covered calls and spreads) to pursue tax‑aware and risk‑managed implementations.

What is noteworthy for this team firm is its multi‑office footprint (five offices), which is larger than typical for similarly sized teams, and its explicit use of derivatives in separately managed accounts as an investment tool. CAVU also provides held‑away participant‑account management using order‑management systems to support tax‑efficient asset location and documents a client‑directed, educational approach to digital‑asset securities (acting on client requests rather than recommending direct cryptocurrency investments).

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
