First Oak Wealth Management, LLC

First Oak provides financial planning, investment management, and high-net-worth planning and consulting to individuals, retirement and profit-sharing plans, corporations, charitable accounts, and trusts, and advises on held-away products such as variable annuities and 529 plans. The firm reports approximately $316 million in assets under discretionary management across roughly 149 client relationships.

First Oak develops individualized Investment Plans and implements them using a mix of ETFs, mutual funds, individual equity and fixed-income securities, options, and Independent Managers, applying primarily fundamental analysis while also incorporating technical and charting methods when appropriate. The firm engages an outsourced chief investment officer (Investment Research Partners) to support model portfolio construction, investment due diligence, performance attribution, and risk analysis, and monitors Independent Managers for alignment with client objectives.

Operationally, First Oak uses AI tools for drafting marketing materials and for transcribing and summarizing client meetings (with client consent), and receives institutional custody, trading, and technology support—including research access via its OCIO relationships—from its custodians. The firm disclosed a 2019 consent order issued by the North Carolina Secretary of State related to the use and supervision of a solicitor, and it does not accept proxy-voting authority, leaving votes to clients.
