About

EQ Wealth Management is a registered investment adviser serving individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, corporations and private funds; the firm reports roughly $941.7 million in assets under management and a nine‑advisor team. It provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and financial planning (financial planning is included as part of its advisory services), and offers access to EQ Models, third‑party managed and sub‑advised programs, and customized models.

The firm’s investment process is governed by an Investment Policy Committee of its principals and relies on fundamental and cyclical analysis, ongoing monitoring, and periodic rebalancing to align portfolios with client goals. EQ Wealth Management also conducts due diligence on third‑party managers and held‑away assets, offers wrap‑fee managed program access (e.g., Envestnet), and manages pooled vehicles on a discretionary basis.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include its role as manager and sponsor of an affiliated private vehicle, EQ Income Fund I (a fund‑of‑funds focused on private real estate), and principals’ combined 25% ownership interest in Axiom‑West LLC, a real estate development company that the firm may recommend to select clients (with related conflicts disclosed). The firm also notes that some associated persons are licensed insurance agents and that it serves institutional and pooled‑vehicle clients in addition to individuals, and it operates from multiple offices — characteristics that set it apart from many peer team firms.

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
