About
Meritas Wealth Management provides fee-only investment management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, and small businesses. The firm manages discretionary portfolios under written Investment Policy Statements and reports it oversees over $618 million for a few hundred client relationships.
Meritas’ investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation and long-term, buy-and-rebalance portfolios built primarily from no-load mutual funds and institutional share classes, with rebalancing reviewed around a 20% drift trigger and discretionary adjustments for tax or cash-flow needs. Financial planning is delivered as a written plan that is often engaged alongside investment management and draws on scenario modeling and input from the client’s other professional advisors.
Distinctive operational features include regular use of Dimensional Funds Advisors’ institutional funds and ongoing educational, research, and client-event support from fund providers, and reliance on Schwab’s institutional custody and technology platform for trading and reporting. The firm notes it may have varying custody arrangements — including limited fee-deduction authority and, in some instances, access via client online credentials subject to independent surprise examinations — and discloses third-party operational and trading support relationships.

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
