About
Empirical Wealth Management serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pensions and profit‑sharing plans, and investors in its private pooled vehicle. The firm offers fee‑based discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, tax preparation, retirement‑plan consulting (including tools to manage participant‑directed “held‑away” retirement accounts), a wrap‑fee program, and affiliated insurance, estate‑planning referral and residential real‑estate brokerage services.
Investment decisions are grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and typically employ 12–21 distinct asset classes to construct diversified model portfolios implemented primarily through mutual funds, ETFs and institutional funds, with targeted strategies such as the Targeted Premium Equity and Targeted Credit sleeves and optional long/short overlays for concentrated positions. Empirical also manages alternative‑strategy offerings, including the Empirical Alternative Income Fund, LP, and may enter into performance‑based fee arrangements with qualified clients while maintaining policies to address side‑by‑side allocation risks.
Compared with many multi‑team advisers, Empirical operates several affiliated businesses—Empirical Properties (a residential brokerage that can offer client rebates), Empirical Insurance (a commission‑based insurance subsidiary), and a referral relationship with Secure Legacy Law Group for estate planning—which creates in‑house capacity across real estate, insurance and legal services. The firm is also an SEC‑registered private‑fund adviser that provides portfolio management to pooled vehicle investors and works with state and municipal retirement clients, services that are less common among similarly sized 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.
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
