About
Gratus Wealth Strategies LLC provides wealth management and financial planning services to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, overseeing about $50 million for roughly 40 client relationships. The firm is fee‑only and charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees, with a stated $500,000 account minimum that reflects a focus on HNW clients rather than non‑high‑net‑worth retail individuals.
The firm’s investment approach combines modern portfolio theory and fundamental analysis to set asset‑allocation targets and build portfolios using a mix of passive and active funds, with discretionary trading authority to implement those strategies. Financial planning is offered at no additional fee on an opt‑in basis, and the adviser may recommend alternative investments or other non‑traditional assets when suitable for a client’s goals and risk tolerance.
A few practices distinguish the firm from many peers: the principal has disclosed outside activity advising a private offering and ownership of a private‑equity holding entity, and the firm discloses paying third‑party solicitors for client referrals. The firm also requires clients to custody assets on an institutional Charles Schwab platform and does not accept proxy‑voting responsibilities, leaving voting and corporate action decisions to clients.

Forms ADV
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.
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
