About

FSA Wealth Partners is a fee-only fiduciary registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and limited-scope financial planning to individuals, business owners, foundations, trusts and retirement accounts. The firm, incorporated in 1982, operates with a team of eight advisors and manages about $820 million for roughly 700 clients.

The firm offers both actively managed and passive strategies and uses a combination of technical and fundamental analysis to inform asset allocation and trade decisions, with ongoing portfolio oversight and periodic client communications. Actively managed strategies may employ a proprietary exit mechanism called the FSA Safety Net and the firm uses pooled vehicles such as mutual funds and ETFs—including leveraged and inverse funds—or delegates to independent managers and Envestnet fund-strategist models as part of client portfolios.

Several operational features distinguish FSA from many peers: it recommends Charles Schwab as custodian and discloses receipt of various Schwab economic and platform benefits, it uses the Pontera Solutions platform to link and manage held-away retirement plan assets, and it serves as a sub-adviser and accesses Envestnet’s RIA Marketplace. The brochure also discloses permissive operational arrangements—standing letters of authorization and direct fee deduction custody—and notes the use and risks of leveraged/inverse investments, all of which the firm flags as potential conflicts and that clients may restrict.

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
