About
Optivest serves individuals and families—including high‑net‑worth clients—as well as trusts, foundations and business entities, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary money management, family office services, and advice on real estate, mortgages and private business transactions. The firm also offers financial and retirement planning, family wealth advisory, and consultative/concierge services designed to integrate investment, estate, and lifestyle needs.
Its investment process combines strategic asset allocation with tactical portfolio construction across stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, options and alternative investments, and uses charting, fundamental and technical analysis together with ongoing monitoring. Optivest emphasizes in‑depth due diligence on real estate and private placements, employs third‑party managers when appropriate, and produces consolidated reporting supported by an online planning and balance‑sheet platform for clients.
Distinctive aspects include formal affiliations with other advisory entities and referral relationships with third‑party managers, and advisory staff who also act as registered representatives and licensed insurance agents—arrangements that generate referral and transaction‑based compensation and are disclosed and monitored as potential conflicts. The firm also highlights daily reconciliation of alternative investments, an integrated family‑office workflow, and a practice of donating a portion of gross revenue to charitable causes.

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
