About

Cherry Tree Wealth Management, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and employee benefit retirement plan consulting to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), pension and profit‑sharing plans, estates, trusts, charitable organizations, and state and municipal government entities. The firm reports managing approximately $673 million in client assets and offers services that include IPS preparation, participant education for retirement plans, and written financial plans.

The firm's investment approach emphasizes asset allocation and long‑term, buy‑and‑hold strategies grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, with portfolios constructed largely using passively managed, institutional mutual funds and ETFs and occasional short‑term trades when warranted. Cherry Tree gathers client goals, time horizons and risk tolerances through interviews and questionnaires, conducts at least quarterly account reviews, and may delegate fixed‑income trading authority to third‑party managers where appropriate.

Distinctive disclosures in the brochure note that management personnel are separately registered as representatives of an affiliated limited‑purpose broker‑dealer, Cherry Tree & Associates, LLC, which focuses on mergers and acquisitions and private placements, and that firm personnel are licensed insurance agents who may implement insurance recommendations for separate commission compensation. The inclusion of state and municipal government entities among client types is relatively uncommon for peer team firms and suggests experience with institutional and public‑sector relationships.

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
