About

Quantum Financial Advisors serves individuals, high net worth families, trusts and estates, employer retirement plans, and other business entities with comprehensive portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting. Its Comprehensive Portfolio Management engagements combine ongoing investment supervision with planning or consulting, and the firm also accepts stand‑alone planning and employer plan consulting assignments.

The firm uses an asset‑class, rules‑based investment process that favors mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts (SMAs) over individual stock picking, with systematic tilts toward small‑cap, value, and high‑profitability segments and regular rebalancing. It offers two parallel strategies — a Total Market approach and a Sustainable approach that applies DFA environmental rankings (sourced from third‑party vendors such as MSCI) to overweight higher‑rated companies while preserving the underlying factor exposures — and utilizes institutional‑class DFA mutual funds, Avantis active transparent ETFs, and SMAs (including DFA equity SMAs and Wasmer Schroeder bond SMAs) when exclusions, tax sensitivity, or customization are required.

Noteworthy distinctions include advisor ownership and rapid growth to over $1.4 billion in AUM with a multi‑advisor team, access to institutional‑class funds and active transparent ETFs that do not simply track market indices, and the capability to use more complex instruments (such as box spreads and limited private‑credit allocations) for sophisticated clients. The firm also explicitly includes financial planning and consulting within its portfolio management service for clients whose annual advisory fee exceeds $15,000 and uses SMAs to implement bespoke exclusions or tax‑sensitive liquidation plans.
