About

Coastal Bridge Advisors provides financial planning, consulting, and discretionary and non-discretionary wealth management to individuals (including high net worth clients), family offices, trusts, estates, foundations and qualified retirement plans. The firm also offers retirement plan consulting and ERISA services, along with specialized advisory services such as HSA investment management and assistance accessing margin, collateralized and residential mortgage lending through third-party financial institutions.

The firm follows a goal-based, fundamental analysis approach and constructs diversified portfolios across equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and, when appropriate, privately placed securities and alternative investments. Coastal Bridge commonly uses External Managers and affiliated SMA strategies, performs scenario analysis including Monte Carlo stress testing, and may recommend allocations to privately offered vehicles or externally managed programs based on a client’s objectives and eligibility.

Coastal Bridge’s ownership within the Focus Financial Partners network and its affiliated businesses distinguish its offering: it discloses affiliated insurance entities (Coastal Bridge Advisors Insurance, LLC and Coastal Bridge Advisors P&C Insurance, LLC), an affiliate insurance facilitator (Focus Risk Solutions), and a subadvisory relationship with Fergus Reinsurance Limited. The firm also coordinates access to pooled vehicles managed by Origin and OCA, permits certain supervised persons to offer commissionable insurance products, and facilitates credit and cash-management solutions through intermediaries such as UPTIQ and Flourish, arrangements the brochure discloses as producing potential revenue-sharing 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
