About
Emergent Wealth Advisors serves individual clients — including high‑net‑worth individuals — as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, providing discretionary asset management, negotiable fixed‑fee financial planning and limited ERISA 3(21) fiduciary services for retirement plans. The firm implements portfolios directly and through platforms such as AssetMark or Orion and by recommending third‑party money managers and institutional strategists.
Investment programs are developed around each client’s goals, time horizon and documented risk tolerance, with analysis that may include fundamental, technical and cyclical methods and periodic account reviews at least quarterly. Emergent accepts discretionary trading authority, prepares client reports, and tailors allocations using both in‑house management and outside managers available on its selected platforms.
Notable operational and affiliation features include firm principals’ separate, licensed insurance practices — which may result in commission‑based recommendations and are disclosed as a potential conflict mitigated by the firm’s fiduciary procedures — and the firm’s participation in platform arrangements that can include business development allowances and third‑party fee sharing. The firm also operates at a relatively large scale for a three‑advisor team, and discloses certain operational choices such as not aggregating trades for block execution and not voting client proxies.

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.
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
