About
High Note Wealth provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and small businesses. The firm’s brochure shows a small advisory team managing roughly $683 million in discretionary assets for about 275 clients and offering ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and coordination with third‑party managers.
The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary mandates and documents client goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances to guide asset allocation and monitoring, including oversight of held‑away retirement and education accounts. Its disclosure lists a wide range of analytical methods and strategies—fundamental, quantitative, technical and modern portfolio theory—and notes use of options, margin and other leverage, leveraged/inverse ETFs, and alternative investments when appropriate.
High Note’s materials also highlight a few uncommon practices for a firm of this size: the firm advertises third‑party ratings and discloses the use of borrowing and margin strategies in client accounts, including in separately managed or held‑away arrangements. The brochure further describes use of a third‑party order management platform (Pontera) for held‑away assets, potential solicitor relationships when recommending third‑party managers, and custodial arrangements that include fee deductions and standing letters of authorization.

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
