About

Focus Partners serves individuals, high-net-worth families, family offices, corporate and institutional clients (including ERISA retirement plans) with a range of wealth management and advisory services. Its offerings include discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial and tax planning, family office and business management services, employee benefit/retirement plan consulting, and access to private and registered pooled vehicles.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long‑term, tax- and fee-sensitive portfolio construction under an “enhanced open architecture” framework that blends active and passive strategies, third‑party separate account managers, and private funds. Portfolio teams use fundamental and quantitative analysis, stress-tested capital market assumptions, and tools such as trend‑following (TrendWise) and options overlay strategies (OIO/IIO); they also integrate “held‑away” accounts and legacy strategies inherited through multiple mergers.

Compared with many large advisory firms, Focus Partners discloses several atypical relationships: it offers or facilitates non‑advisory financial products and lending/cash-management solutions through third-party platforms (UPTIQ, Flourish) and an affiliated insurance intermediary (Focus Risk Solutions), and it manages or gives clients access to affiliated private funds and real‑estate-related vehicles (including investments tied to life‑science real estate and affiliated managers). The firm also continues to operate and market legacy strategies and registered vehicles from acquired advisers (for example, Kovitz and Churchill strategies and EQTY/VALAX), and its personnel include attorneys and other professionals who maintain separate legal or accounting practices, matters the firm discloses and routes through distinct engagement terms.

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
