About

Arca Wealth, LLC is a registered investment adviser that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management, financial planning (stand‑alone or integrated), and retirement plan consulting to individuals, trusts, charitable organizations, corporations and plan sponsors. The firm reports approximately $1.27 billion in client assets and typically requires a $500,000 account minimum (waivable at the firm’s discretion).

Arca describes a client‑centered process that begins with investigative consultation and a risk‑profile to build customized asset allocations across four broad approaches (Conservative, Moderate, Strategic Growth, Aggressive). While Arca generally favors mutual funds and ETFs, its investment toolkit also includes individual equities, fixed income, REITs, ETNs, cryptocurrency exposure via exchange‑traded securities or private funds, and active use of options strategies plus temporary margin/borrowing when appropriate to support those strategies.

Distinctive operational features disclosed in the brochure include paid solicitation agreements with MoneyPickle, SmartAsset, and WiserAdvisor and access to annuity products through a third‑party platform (Mutual Group), as well as the fact that some professionals are separately licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions on insurance sales. The firm also completed a recent acquisition of another registered adviser and a legal name change, and it participates in institutional custodial programs that provide educational events and other support services used by its advisors.

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
