About

Meritum Wealth Management provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and pension/401(k) consulting to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and other institutional clients (including RIAs and proprietary trading firms). The firm prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each client and tailors services to individual goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances.

The firm’s investment process combines quantitative and qualitative methods — including charting, cyclical, fundamental, modern portfolio theory, and technical analysis — and employs long‑term and short‑term trading as well as options strategies. Portfolios are constructed from mutual funds, equities, ETFs (including leveraged and precious‑metal ETFs), and fixed‑income securities, and the adviser may use model allocations and specified custodians for execution.

A notable feature of the firm is that its personnel also operate a separate tax preparation/tax‑planning business (Meritum Tax Advisors LLC) and an independent insurance agency; the firm discloses these relationships, may recommend those services, and may waive tax‑service fees depending on account size while describing procedures to mitigate conflicts. Despite its relatively small size (three advisors and roughly $13 million in AUM), the firm offers pension consulting and institutional advisory work and engages in active strategies such as options trading, distinguishing it from many 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.

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
