About
Pugh Wealth Management provides investment management, financial planning, and employee benefit plan advisory services to individuals, trusts, charitable organizations, businesses and qualified retirement plans. The firm manages discretionary portfolios and also advises participant-directed retirement plan assets, overseeing roughly $43.7 million in discretionary AUM while advising on an additional ~$33.2 million in plan assets.
The firm follows a long-term, asset-class investment approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, typically implementing diversified portfolios with passively managed mutual funds (notably funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors) and model portfolios from a retained sub-adviser. PWM works with clients to document investment policy statements, uses Monte Carlo analysis for planning, and may employ third‑party managers for fixed income or interval/illiquid strategies when appropriate.
PWM is affiliated with an accounting practice whose principals are also owners of the advisory firm, and certain advisory staff split substantial time between the accounting and advisory businesses. The firm also emphasizes retirement-plan education—providing participant education meetings and regular written performance reports—and leverages publications and continuing‑education resources from custodians and recommended investment providers in its client communications.

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
