About

Element Squared Private Wealth provides discretionary investment management and financial planning primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm delivers ongoing portfolio management and may prepare comprehensive financial plans at no additional charge.

Investment decisions are implemented through strategic asset allocation across asset classes and a mix of fundamental, technical, and charting analyses, with periodic reviews, rebalancing, and tax‑loss harvesting as warranted. The firm expands client access to non‑traditional investments, including alternative offerings and certain ETF‑based structured strategies, and integrates those holdings into managed portfolios.

Noteworthy aspects include Element Squared’s use of a third‑party alternative investment platform (CAIS) and reliance on CAIS’s initial and ongoing operational and investment due diligence for private offerings, along with disclosures about valuation lag and liquidity differences for such investments. The firm also does not vote client proxies, leaving voting responsibility to clients unless advisory assistance is requested, which is a practice that differs from many peers.

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
