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.

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
