Pathview Wealth Advisors serves individual investors as well as retirement plans, trusts, estates, charities and business entities, offering continuous investment supervisory services alongside financial planning and consulting. The firm provides written financial plans, hourly or fixed-fee planning engagements, and ongoing portfolio management for clients.

The firm develops client-specific investment policies and implements them primarily through asset allocation and fundamental analysis, using mutual funds and exchange-traded funds and typically managing accounts on a discretionary basis. While the brochure notes the firm does not recommend using margin to increase leverage, it permits clients to maintain margin accounts and explicitly describes the risks and operational implications of borrowing in client accounts.

A notable feature of the firm is that an owner is a licensed CPA who supervises tax-preparation services offered to advisory clients, a combination the firm discloses and addresses as a potential conflict of interest. Pathview also manages approximately $583 million with a five-advisor team—resulting in a relatively high AUM-per-advisor ratio—and uses Schwab Advisor Services for custody and institutional support while providing quarterly reporting and SLOA-based arrangements when applicable.
