About
Hartwell Wealth Management LLC provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities. Services include discretionary investment management with Investment Policy Statements, written financial plans (with estate‑planning services facilitated through a third‑party platform), and access to insurance and retirement‑plan advice.
The firm’s investment process uses a mix of cyclical, fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis and typically emphasizes ETF‑based portfolios across equities, fixed income, REITs and precious‑metal exposures, employing both long‑ and short‑term trading. Risk tolerances are documented in client IPSs, the firm generally requests discretionary trading authority, conducts at least quarterly account reviews, and charges percentage‑of‑assets fees.
Hartwell’s business model is notable for the principals’ outside activities: they operate an affiliated accounting/payroll practice and act as licensed insurance agents and registered representatives, relationships the firm discloses and manages as potential conflicts of interest. The firm also requires clients to custody assets with a specific broker‑dealer, facilitates estate‑document preparation via Wealth, Inc., and reports approximately $54.8 million in discretionary assets under management across a three‑advisor team serving about 149 clients.

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
