About
Exemplar Wealth Advisors, LLC provides portfolio management and financial planning for individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals and charitable organizations, and also invests client assets in private equity, real estate funds, REITs, venture capital and other pooled vehicles for accredited investors. The firm documents client goals and risk tolerances in an Investment Policy Statement and offers discretionary management with ongoing portfolio monitoring.
The firm’s investment approach combines charting, cyclical, fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis under a long‑term trading orientation and modern portfolio theory, and it routinely allocates all or portions of client portfolios to third‑party managers. Brochure disclosures identify current third‑party relationships with SMArtX Advisory Solutions and ORION and describe a due‑diligence process the firm uses before referring clients.
Exemplar’s structure is atypical for an investment manager: a management person is a registered representative of an affiliated broker‑dealer that develops and distributes private equity offerings, and the firm discloses affiliations with law firms, litigation‑finance entities and personnel engaged in real estate investing. These outside business activities and related conflicts are disclosed in the brochure (the ADV does not report criminal, civil, administrative or SRO proceedings), and the firm states it will manage such conflicts while receiving its advisory fee in addition to fees charged by selected third‑party managers.

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
