About

Confidence Wealth Management, Inc. manages roughly $454 million on behalf of individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, retirement plans, trusts, estates, and business entities through a team of nine advisors. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial and retirement planning, fiduciary consulting for employee benefit plans, and the selection and oversight of third‑party advisers and sub‑advisers.

CWM primarily implements proprietary model portfolios and asset‑allocation frameworks, supplemented by third‑party managers, and combines passive ETFs with actively managed mutual funds across strategies such as Conservative Core, Balanced Risk (risk‑parity), Moderate Income and traditional core portfolios. The firm’s process uses charting, fundamental and technical analysis, emphasizes downside risk management and diversification, and typically exercises discretionary authority for managed accounts.

What is noteworthy relative to peers is the firm’s affiliation with licensed insurance agencies and the fact that some advisors are also licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions when clients purchase insurance products through those affiliates, a relationship the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest. The brochure also discloses participation in a custodial advisor program that provides research and other services to the firm, and the regular use of third‑party managers alongside in‑house models, which can affect how investment programs are implemented.

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
