About
MA Private Wealth, a five-advisor team managing about $686 million for roughly 366 clients, serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), families, trusts, estates, private foundations, and qualified retirement plans. The firm provides both discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, comprehensive financial planning and consulting, and retirement-plan advisory services.
The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and portfolio construction using mutual funds, ETFs and individual debt and equity securities, with a generally long-term orientation while permitting shorter-term trading when warranted; portfolios are tailored to each client’s risk tolerance, liquidity needs and tax considerations and MAPW can also manage held-away retirement accounts. MAPW discloses it may recommend Independent Managers in the future but does not currently use them, and it incorporates third-party models and research into its recommendations.
MA Private Wealth is notable among peers for sponsoring and acting as portfolio manager of a wrap fee program, an arrangement the brochure highlights could create incentives around program costs. The firm also discloses the use of testimonials and endorsements in its advertising and a no-cost model/research relationship with BlackRock Fund Advisors (contingent on maintaining a specified asset level), all of which the firm identifies as potential conflicts it addresses through due diligence and its fiduciary processes.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
