About

Novus Advisors works with individual clients — including high‑net‑worth households — as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management together with financial and retirement planning services. The firm’s portfolio management uses equities, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs to implement tailored asset‑allocation strategies and periodic rebalancing.

The firm emphasizes fundamental analysis and active asset management, and may engage third‑party money managers to implement strategies when appropriate. Novus also offers ERISA‑related consulting and can provide both non‑discretionary 3(21) fiduciary advice and discretionary 3(38) investment manager services for retirement plans.

Compared with many peers, Novus discloses an affiliation with an insurance entity (Novus Wealth Management, LLC) and that licensed employees may receive commissions for sales of insurance products such as fixed‑indexed annuities, which the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest and notes clients may purchase such products elsewhere. The brochure also records a recent change in affiliations with another adviser and highlights the firm’s explicit procedures for ERISA plan oversight and the use of outside money managers, which affect how investment authority and fiduciary responsibilities are allocated.

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
