About

Rockport Wealth Advisors is a registered investment adviser that serves individual and high-net-worth clients with fee-based financial planning, ongoing investment management, and consultation services, and offers 3(21) retirement-plan advisory work. The firm operates as a team (eight advisers) managing roughly $676 million and provides access to both traditional portfolio management and consultant-style services including guidance on Delaware Statutory Trusts and other alternative investments.

The firm operates its own wrap fee program for portfolio management and custody, opens new accounts under that program, and also uses a Betterment sub‑advisory/digital platform for certain clients; wrap-program disclosures note that recommended alternative investments the firm sponsors are included in AUM and covered under the wrap. Rockport’s investment offerings include Strategic Models that can employ short-term, tactical “risk on/risk off” positioning and may use covered call options and inverse ETFs in appropriate client accounts, with frequent monitoring and occasional block trading.

What distinguishes Rockport among similar team firms is its use of performance-based fee arrangements for qualified clients (the brochure discloses a performance fee framework tied to annual gross profits, with related side‑by‑side management disclosures), its role as a wrap‑fee program sponsor that is converting legacy accounts into the wrap program, and its explicit disclosures around a recent acquisition and related billing/transition issues. The brochure also discloses potential conflicts of interest (e.g., an investment advisor representative who owns an accounting firm and several advisers who hold outside broker/dealer and insurance registrations) and a firm policy to not vote client proxies.
