About

Cedar Cove Wealth Partners provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to a mix of individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals) and institutional clients; as of December 31, 2025 the firm reported approximately $455,020,729 in assets under management across about 2,036 accounts and a team of 10 advisors. Services described in the brochure include ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and estate planning coordination delivered in partnership with EncorEstate Plans, with most accounts managed on a discretionary basis.

The firm employs a blend of active and passive strategies, tactical asset allocation, options, alternative investments, and ESG considerations where appropriate, and implements portfolios using model portfolios and third‑party strategists accessed via TAMPs such as Adhesion and Advyzon Investment Management (AIM). Cedar Cove conducts continuous oversight with regular monitoring and rebalancing, uses Pontera Solutions for certain held‑away accounts, and operates its own wrap program in which transactional and custodial fees are absorbed by the firm.

What is distinctive in the brochure is the combination of operational and client‑facing features that are statistically uncommon for peer teams: Cedar Cove is the sponsor and manager of a wrap fee program, has an affiliation with tru Independence and related advisers for platform and support services, and discloses that several supervised persons are licensed insurance agents who may offer commissionable insurance products. The firm also documents client communication and education efforts—periodicals/newsletters and seminars/workshops—alongside its use of third‑party platforms and estate‑planning coordination as part of its service mix.

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
