About

ProVise Management Group provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement-plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, business entities and charitable organizations. The firm manages roughly $2.03 billion in client assets through a team of about 16 advisors and also offers stand‑alone planning and reporting services.

The firm implements diversified portfolios using individual equities and fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, and may allocate to interval funds, independent managers, or utilize options and margin in suitable accounts; it conducts ongoing portfolio supervision and can operate both as advisor and as a monitor of outside manager activity. ProVise also employs technological tools, including certain AI systems governed by an internal AI policy, and typically uses custodians such as Charles Schwab (and National Advisors Trust Company for trust services) for custody and trading.

ProVise’s ownership and group structure—being owned by a holding company that also controls an affiliated broker‑dealer, insurance agencies, and a trust company—gives it a range of affiliated service relationships that can result in referrals or the recommendation of affiliate products and commissionable sales by its representatives. The firm discloses that some advisors are licensed insurance agents and certified public accountants in their separate capacities, and it previously self‑reported a share‑class disclosure matter that resulted in an SEC consent order with censure and disgorgement to affected investors.
