Dalton Wealth Planners

The firm provides investment management, financial planning (both ongoing and project-based), and retirement plan consulting to individual clients and employer plan sponsors. It operates as a fee-only registered investment adviser and states that it does not accept commissions for the sale of securities or other investment products.

Investment implementation is guided by asset-allocation principles and modern portfolio theory, using a mix of passive and active funds and, when appropriate, third‑party outside managers. The firm also subscribes to model portfolios available through its custodian’s model marketplace and generally manages client accounts on a discretionary basis, with clients required to establish custody on the firm’s recommended institutional platform.

Noteworthy differences from many peers include the firm’s recent formation and a very small advisory footprint—managing roughly $1.5 million across a small number of client accounts with two advisors—which is unusually small for supported firms. The firm’s required use of a single custodian platform and its participation in that custodian’s model marketplace are prominent operational features it discloses as affecting trade execution and the services it provides; it also emphasizes adherence to CFP Board fiduciary standards while not serving as custodian or voting client proxies.
