About

Cornerstone Wealth Management provides investment management and financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporations, trusts, estates, and qualified retirement plans. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported managing $620,608,534 on a discretionary basis, $8,060,957 on a non‑discretionary basis, and advising on $12,267,378 of held-away assets across roughly 1,173 accounts for 463 clients.

The firm constructs diversified portfolios using exchange-listed and over‑the‑counter equities, mutual funds, ETFs, options, fixed income, and, where appropriate, interests in private partnerships or corporate debt, and may allocate portions of client assets to Independent Managers. Portfolio managers review accounts at least quarterly and state a typical investment horizon of 12–24 months to balance tax considerations and trading costs while permitting shorter-term sales when fundamentals or technicals change.

Cornerstone is notable for operating a relatively large advisory business with a five‑advisor team and for using a third‑party platform to exercise discretionary rebalancing on held‑away defined contribution participant accounts while avoiding custody. The firm also discloses the use of more complex strategies — including option writing, short selling, leverage, and buffered ETFs — and manages side‑by‑side block trades between client and personal accounts with pro rata allocation, subject to its Code of Ethics and supervisory controls.

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
