About

Meritis Wealth Management provides wealth management to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates and businesses, offering discretionary investment management, comprehensive financial planning and stand-alone planning engagements. The firm reports $224.4 million in assets under management across roughly 130 clients and generally requires a minimum relationship size of $750,000.

The firm’s investment approach is primarily long-term and grounded in fundamental analysis; portfolios are typically constructed with low-cost, diversified mutual funds and ETFs and may include individual stocks and bonds when appropriate. Meritis Wealth may also implement portions of portfolios through unaffiliated independent managers while performing ongoing due diligence and retains discretionary authority to manage, rebalance and harvest gains or losses consistent with client objectives.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s recent transition from a broker‑dealer origin into an SEC‑registered advisory model and an institutional relationship with Raymond James that provides research, trading and technology support. Meritis Wealth has also added insurance consulting to its service mix and discloses that certain advisory personnel are licensed to sell insurance (which can generate commission compensation), and it caps the total blended client fee at 2.00% when independent managers are used.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
