About
Equivest Financial Advisors LLC provides personalized financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates and small businesses. Services include written financial plans addressing cash flow, retirement, education funding and estate planning, together with insurance reviews and referrals for annuities and life insurance.
The firm follows a goals‑based, core‑and‑satellite investment approach that emphasizes globally diversified, low‑cost exchange‑traded funds and selected individual stocks, supplementing with active managers when deemed advantageous. Client accounts are managed on a discretionary basis and are typically “subscribed” to a limited set of model portfolios (for example, SmartAllocation and SmartRisk series) that the firm monitors and adjusts.
Noteworthy among peers, the firm maintains an affiliated insurance practice: the managing member is also an insurance agent and the brochure discloses referrals to the affiliated insurance business for fixed and fixed‑index annuities and life insurance. The firm also requires use of a designated custodian (Altruist), does not vote client proxies (clients retain proxy voting), and does not impose a minimum account size.

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
