About
McIlrath & Eck provides financial and estate planning, investment management, and portfolio research and asset-allocation services to individuals, trusts, and pension plans. In its brochure the firm reports managing about $1.152 billion on a discretionary basis and generally requires $250,000 under management, although that minimum may be waived.
The firm builds customized portfolios guided by Modern Portfolio Theory, using a combination of active and passive management across ETFs, mutual funds, and individual securities, and employs both fundamental and technical analysis with long- and short-term strategies. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced periodically, and the brochure notes the firm may recommend limited use of margin in particular client circumstances.
Distinctive items called out in the brochure include a 2022 expansion operating under a Periscope Wealth Advisors dba and that some representatives are licensed insurance agents, a relationship the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm requires clients to use Pershing as custodian for managed accounts and describes periodic client education and outreach—clients typically receive invitations for portfolio and financial-plan reviews two to four times per year—and offers educational seminars or workshops, an offering that is less common among peers.

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
