Due West Wealth Advisors LLC

Due West Wealth Advisors serves individual and high-net-worth clients, offering discretionary wealth management, financial planning, and retirement-plan advisory services. The firm bills advisory relationships on a percentage-of-assets basis and provides ongoing portfolio management for individual accounts.

The advisor’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and a generally long-term orientation, constructing portfolios made up primarily of ETFs, individual equities, mutual funds and, when appropriate, options contracts. Accounts are monitored continuously and managed on a discretionary basis, with the firm willing to retain legacy holdings for tax or fit reasons and to accept reasonable client investment restrictions.

Distinctive features include the principal’s professional credentials and outside roles in academia and real estate, and a recently added capability to provide retirement-plan services in both 3(21) and 3(38) capacities. The firm also discloses the use of derivatives (options) in separately managed accounts and indicates the use of endorsements in its marketing materials — a combination that is uncommon among similarly sized supported advisors.
