About

Fortitude Family Office serves primarily high-net-worth individuals, families, and their related entities — including trusts, estates, foundations, and donor-advised funds — and also works with institutional clients and investors in pooled vehicles. The firm provides investment management, comprehensive wealth and financial planning, and family office services that can include tax compliance and consulting, entity-level accounting oversight, cash management, and bill-pay administration.

Fortitude builds portfolios from customized Investment Policy Statements and implements asset allocation across separate accounts, ETFs and mutual funds, direct investments, and Fortitude-sponsored pooled vehicles (referred to as Access Vehicles). The firm selects and monitors sub-advisors, negotiates fees on clients’ behalf, and operates side-by-side management of separately managed accounts alongside private funds that pay incentive (performance-based) fees; managed account clients who invest in those funds do so through a separate share class for which fund-level management fees are not charged, though incentive fees apply.

Compared with many peers, Fortitude combines traditional family office operational services — including custody-related activities such as bill pay, standing transfer authorizations, and maintenance of account login credentials for certain clients — with a private fund sponsor and adviser role (Fortitude Private Lending, L.P. and Fortitude Real Estate Credit, L.P.) and affiliated GP entities. This structure entails managing illiquid private credit and real estate-credit investments, valuation and liquidity considerations, and documented policies intended to address the conflicts that can arise from performance-based fees and fund-affiliate relationships.

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
