About

CogentBlue Wealth Advisors, LLC is an SEC‑registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm offers both ongoing investment management (including use of third‑party managers/TAMPs) and project or hourly financial planning engagements.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in modern portfolio theory and portfolio construction tailored to each client’s investment policy statement, with regular monitoring and rebalancing. CogentBlue also supports held‑away accounts through a Pontera integration that permits allocation changes without custodial access to client credentials, and it uses outside managers and sub‑advisors where appropriate.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include its role in selling life and health insurance products to clients (commissions from those sales are disclosed as separate from advisory fees) and its operational arrangements with service providers such as Focus Partners and custodians including Charles Schwab and Fidelity. CogentBlue manages roughly $605 million in discretionary assets while maintaining a relatively modest number of client relationships, which results in higher average account sizes than many peers.

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
