About

Emissary Wealth serves a mix of individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals), trusts, estates, business entities, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and pooled investment vehicles. The firm provides comprehensive financial planning and consulting — covering retirement, estate, tax, insurance, charitable giving and business transition planning — as well as ongoing investment management and employee benefit/retirement plan consulting.

For separately managed retail and institutional accounts the firm primarily uses fundamental analysis to evaluate securities and constructs portfolios aligned with each client’s goals, risk tolerance, liquidity needs and time horizon, providing quarterly reviews and discretionary trading where authorized. Separately, Emissary Wealth acts as the investment adviser to a private investment partnership, managing the fund’s day-to-day capital with a focus on real estate-related investments and a goal of delivering favorable absolute returns over a business cycle.

What is distinctive about the firm is its role as adviser, sponsor and portfolio manager for private pooled vehicles — a capability that is uncommon among similar team advisors — and the operational implications that accompanies that role (e.g., potential custody considerations and audited financial statements for fund investors). The firm is also affiliated with an accounting/tax services entity and discloses that principals have outside fund-related roles; these relationships and potential conflicts are described in the brochure and addressed through disclosure and internal policies.

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
