About

Salus Financial Advisors provides wealth management, investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory services to individuals, high net worth clients, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, businesses and retirement plans. The firm manages $262,614,043 in client assets, serves roughly 365 clients with a five-advisor team, and describes its services in its Form ADV and on its website.

SFA acts as a fiduciary and delivers customized, primarily long-term investment strategies implemented on a discretionary basis, while also buying, selling, or reallocating positions as market conditions or client goals require. Portfolios are constructed using ETFs, individual equities, fixed income, options, alternative investments and structured products, and the firm may engage unaffiliated independent managers or third‑party access platforms to manage all or portions of client accounts.

Compared with many peer teams, SFA operates from multiple offices (the brochure lists Colorado Springs and a Denver mailing address and the firm reports six offices) and discloses institutional platform relationships with Fidelity and SEI that provide access to trading, reporting and support services. The firm’s public materials and disclosures also indicate use of client-facing marketing (including published performance information and testimonials) and note practices such as limited custody (fee deduction only) and a stated cap on combined advisor/independent-manager fees.

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.

Find your advisor

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
