Sagent Wealth Management

Sagent Wealth Management offers ongoing wealth management and advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, retirement plans, businesses, non‑profits and family offices, combining investment management with financial planning, retirement and estate-planning coordination. The firm typically begins relationships with a complimentary Financial Checkup that frames personalized recommendations and becomes an ongoing part of the advisory process.

Portfolios are managed on either a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis and implemented through a mix of proprietary total‑return model portfolios, customized portfolios, individual securities and independent third‑party managers, with investment decisions informed by fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis. The firm recommends custodians such as Altruist and National Financial Services and may use third‑party technology platforms (for example, Pontera) to monitor certain accounts maintained outside its primary custodial relationships.

Notable distinctions disclosed in the brochure include that a firm principal is licensed as a California insurance producer and a real estate broker and may receive commissions if clients purchase insurance or use real estate services, a potential conflict the firm says it manages through disclosure and fiduciary procedures. The firm also discloses a 2017 SEC settlement resolving alleged violations of the Advisers Act, a disciplinary matter prospective clients can review in the firm’s disclosures.
