About

Intentional Wealth Strategies serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and retirement plans with integrated wealth management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan consulting. The firm also offers estate planning consulting through a third‑party technology platform and makes turnkey model portfolios available to participating clients.

The firm follows an evidence‑based, disciplined investment process that combines fundamental analysis with factor‑based exposures (for example, size, value and momentum), global diversification and ongoing rebalancing, and tailors allocations to each client’s risk tolerance and objectives. IWS uses independent managers and occasional privately placed vehicles while managing client accounts on a discretionary basis and providing regular portfolio monitoring.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include its recent registration (2023) and a TAMP arrangement where BlackRock constructs model portfolios and an outsourced execution provider implements those models while IWS retains investment discretion and absorbs execution costs. The brochure also discloses that IWS offers ERISA 3(38) discretionary and non‑discretionary plan services and that certain supervised persons are licensed to sell insurance products, which the firm identifies as a potential conflict of interest.

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
