About

Prevail Innovative Wealth Advisors, LLC provides investment advisory and retirement‑plan fiduciary services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, corporations and business owners. Its service set includes discretionary asset management delivered through a wrap‑fee program, variable annuity sub‑account management, fiduciary 3(38) retirement plan management and business planning offerings such as business valuation, succession planning, buy‑sell implementation and post‑liquidity wealth planning.

The firm customizes portfolios to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance, overseen by an Investment Committee that meets at least quarterly, and employs a mix of fundamental, factor and quantitative optimization methods alongside third‑party platforms (eMoney, Orion, Pontera) for reporting and implementation. Prevail generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, allows client‑imposed restrictions, and may use external signal providers for variable sub‑account exchanges.

Prevail is distinctive among multi‑team advisers for the breadth of affiliated activities disclosed in its brochure: an affiliated insurance agency (Prevail Strategies LLC) whose representatives may receive commission‑based compensation for insurance and annuity sales; affiliated private‑fund and real‑estate vehicles (Prevail Alternative Assets and a proprietary private fund) for which the firm may solicit investments and assess performance‑based fees; and the production of periodic newsletters and seminars. The firm also limits standalone written financial plans within its financial consulting offering, focusing instead on integrated consulting and business‑oriented planning for clients.

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.
