About

Family Wealth Partners is an SEC-registered advisory firm that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), business entities, charitable organizations, and pension/profit-sharing plans. It provides discretionary investment management, financial planning and consulting, third‑party adviser selection, pension consulting, and estate plan coordination using a digital estate‑planning platform.

The firm typically manages client accounts on a discretionary, asset‑based basis and tailors portfolios to each client’s financial situation, goals, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and time horizon. Its stated methods include fundamental analysis and modern portfolio theory and it constructs portfolios that can include traditional equities and fixed income as well as a broad set of alternatives — for example ESG strategies, leveraged ETFs, derivatives and options, structured products, PIPEs, real estate/REITs, private limited partnerships, and digital assets — and it may retain third‑party managers where appropriate.

Compared with many peers, the firm’s responsiveness to complex and alternative investment types and its ancillary services are notable: it offers pension plan consulting, family‑office coaching for select high‑net‑worth clients, and a discrete estate plan coordination service via a third‑party digital platform. The firm also maintains referral arrangements with third parties and discloses that principals engage in licensed insurance activities and may receive insurance commissions, a conflict the firm says it discloses to clients.

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
