CWM, LLC is an SEC‑registered investment adviser that serves a broad mix of individuals, high‑net‑worth families, foundations, endowments, corporations and institutional clients through a network of partner offices and more than 600 advisors. The firm offers portfolio management, financial planning, variable sub‑account management, sub‑advisory services, and a suite of retirement‑plan services including a Carson Retirement Program with delegated 3(38) and consulting options.

CWM typically manages accounts on a discretionary basis using model portfolios governed by an in‑house Investment Committee and combines fundamental and technical analysis, third‑party sub‑advisors and trade‑signal providers, and customization tools such as Orion Custom Indexing and access to alternative investments via iCapital. The brochure emphasizes ongoing fiduciary processes for retirement plans (e.g., FI360 toolkit and IPS‑driven monitoring), centralized custody and platform relationships (Fidelity, Schwab, Vestwell), and regular client reviews and reporting.

Several features in the brochure distinguish CWM from many enterprise peers: it discloses multiple sponsor and revenue‑sharing arrangements (for example, a Flourish revenue‑sharing program and parent‑company investments in Vanilla), a paid Premier Partner investment universe, and a lead‑generation/matching platform and trust administration offering — all accompanied by explicit conflict‑of‑interest disclosures. The firm’s materials also note that it advertises predecessor performance (a relatively uncommon practice for large advisers) and place heavier operational emphasis on retirement plan, institutional and platform services than on charity‑focused practice areas.
