A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Cogent Strategic Wealth LLC

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Cogent Strategic Wealth LLC or one who fits your needs even better.

Cogent Strategic Wealth serves individual investors, including high-net-worth clients, trusts, charitable organizations, and participant-directed retirement plans, offering wealth management that combines investment management, advanced planning, and relationship management. The firm also provides limited-scope second-opinion reviews for referred professionals and business owners as part of its client intake options. The firm's investment process is structured around a "Personal Chief Financial Officer" framework — discovery, a written Investment Policy Statement, portfolio development, implementation, and ongoing reviews — and relies on long-term, diversified asset-allocation strategies grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and Monte Carlo analysis. Portfolios are typically implemented with no-load mutual funds and ETFs (including strategies from DFA, Vanguard, AQR, Bridgeway, and Stoneridge), but may include individualized equity positions, managed fixed-income accounts, ESG overlays, interval funds, and, where appropriate through third-party managers, long/short strategies. What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its scale with a relatively small advisory team managing roughly $336 million alongside an outsourced model: it routinely uses a third-party sub-adviser and back-office provider (FPAS) and may engage independent managers for certain mandates, and it offers access to Stone Ridge funds and a cash-aggregation service (Flourish Cash). The firm also discloses the ability to log into client accounts (which it treats as custody for regulatory purposes and subjects to an annual surprise examination) and maintains a formal succession and service arrangement with its third-party partner.

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
