About
Serenity Wealth Management provides fee-based investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. The firm also offers pension consulting, coordinates third‑party money manager relationships, and advises on private placement and alternative investments for qualified clients.
The firm describes a tactical allocation approach supported by fundamental analysis and fifteen proprietary model portfolios that can be customized for client risk profiles; it may use options and margin as part of its strategies. Although Serenity describes discretionary portfolio management in its advisory services, its regulatory filing shows a substantial portion of assets are managed on a non‑discretionary basis (about $258.3 million of $513.6 million in AUM).
Noteworthy distinctions include an explicit affiliation with Serenity Tax and Accounting, with owners of the advisor also owning that tax/accounting entity and disclosing referrals and compensation; the firm notes it may cover the cost of tax services for certain clients under $250,000 thresholds, which it identifies as a potential conflict of interest. Serenity also documents a detailed private placement due diligence and monitoring process and provides written investment policy guidance for pension clients, practices the disclosure of conflicts such as insurance commissions, and outlines referral relationships with third‑party managers.

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
