About

Dakota Wealth, LLC serves a broad mix of individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, foundations, retirement plans, charitable organizations and business enterprises. The firm offers wealth management, discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, stand‑alone financial planning and investment consulting, retirement plan advisory services (including 3(21)/3(38) roles), and acts as an advisor to pooled vehicles and registered investment companies.

The firm builds customized, primarily long‑term portfolios using mutual funds and ETFs alongside individual equities, fixed income, structured products, REITs and options, and may allocate to independent managers when appropriate. Dakota Wealth emphasizes ongoing oversight and due diligence—its disclosure notes that private fund allocations are researched in‑house (including on‑site visits) and that most client assets are managed on a discretionary basis.

What distinguishes Dakota Wealth from many peers is its active role as a manager and general partner to private funds (the Persimmon Absolute Return Fund master/feeder structure) and its engagement as sub‑adviser to a registered ETF, arrangements the firm discloses as creating potential conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses affiliated tax services, use of an insurance platform relationship, institutional arrangements with multiple custodians that provide platform benefits, and a generally no‑minimum relationship policy that may be atypical for an enterprise advisor of its scale.

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
