About
Shield Wealth Advisors works primarily with individual and high‑net‑worth clients, delivering discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting services. The firm manages roughly $68 million for about 109 clients and offers both direct asset management and programs that use third‑party sub‑advisors and co‑advisory arrangements to implement model portfolios.
Investment decisions are guided by a value‑oriented, long‑term framework supplemented by tactical and strategic asset‑allocation and a mix of fundamental and technical analysis; accounts are tailored through one‑on‑one interviews and questionnaires and are reviewed at least quarterly. The firm delegates portfolio implementation in some programs to a named sub‑advisor that has discretionary authority to select and implement model holdings, while the adviser retains client communication and oversight responsibilities.
Several features set the firm apart from many peers: it is registered as an insurance agency and its supervised persons may sell insurance and annuity products for commission, a relationship the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also has an accounting/tax affiliation—the chief compliance officer operates a tax practice to which clients may be referred—and the brochure notes participation in sponsored educational events and custodial educational resources, along with an exclusive sub‑advisor arrangement that requires sharing client personal and portfolio information.

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
