About

Cornerstone Wealth Partners is a team‑based, SEC‑registered investment adviser that serves primarily individual investors, plan sponsors, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and small businesses. The firm provides financial planning, portfolio management for individual accounts, IRA/retirement‑rollover guidance and college‑savings advice, and manages approximately $146 million for roughly 429 client households through discretionary management and co‑advisor arrangements.

Investment decisions are driven by an academic, evidence‑based approach that uses globally diversified mutual fund and ETF models with periodic (typically quarterly) rebalancing; Cornerstone also offers a co‑advisory relationship with a third‑party manager for some accounts. The firm commonly charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees and augments portfolio management with investor education materials, ongoing financial consultations, and optional coaching services.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include a consent order with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation related to unlicensed advisory activity during 2020–2023, which resulted in payment of past due licensing fees ($375) and $15,000 in penalties. The firm also routinely hosts no‑charge public coaching events and educational seminars, permits certain employees to sell insurance products on a commission basis, and reports a client base that is primarily non‑high‑net‑worth individuals—each of which is less common among comparable team advisers.

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
