About
Lagos Wealth Advisors serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plan sponsors, charitable organizations and small businesses, overseeing roughly $64 million across discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts for about 126 clients. Its advisory services include discretionary portfolio management delivered via the AssetMark platform, retirement plan consulting (including IPS preparation and 3(21)/3(38) fiduciary options), a company‑sponsored Next Level IRA rollover/consolidation program, and referral/solicitor arrangements to independent advisers.
The firm’s investment process relies on screening third‑party managers and funds on the AssetMark platform and combines quantitative, qualitative, fundamental and technical analysis to build client allocations, with periodic reviews at least quarterly and client meetings at least annually. For retirement plans the firm documents IPSs, monitors investment fiduciaries and can assume discretionary 3(38) authority; the Next Level IRA lineup is custodied at Penchecks and is managed using a documented quantitative/qualitative scoring system for underlying funds.
What is distinctive is the firm’s multi‑licensed structure: several supervised persons also act as registered representatives of an unaffiliated broker‑dealer, the firm is an insurance brokerage and some advisors are licensed to sell insurance, and one advisor maintains a separate real‑estate brokerage affiliation — each of which can produce commission‑based compensation and potential conflicts of interest. The brochure discloses these affiliations (and AssetMark‑related allowances and referral fee arrangements) and describes supervisory policies and disclosures the firm uses to address and disclose those conflicts.
