About

Simplicity Wealth serves a broad mix of clients including individual and high‑net‑worth investors, defined contribution and defined benefit retirement plans, corporate and institutional investors, and other financial firms such as third‑party advisors, broker‑dealers, insurance companies, banks and trust companies. The firm provides advisory services ranging from financial planning and individual portfolio management to discretionary and non‑discretionary retirement plan services and a managed account platform (TAMP) for advisers.

The firm typically implements a “fund‑of‑funds” style using ETFs, mutual funds and, when appropriate, individual securities, and constructs model portfolios that are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis; it also uses independent managers and offers optional overlays such as tax optimization, tax transition, customized investment screening, and index replication. Simplicity Wealth maintains discretionary authority over timing and execution for many models while coordinating with advisers and Model Managers, and it describes a formal due diligence and monitoring process for third‑party Model Managers.

Compared with many peers, Simplicity Wealth combines advisory services with technology and operational offerings for other advisers — including a private‑labelable asset management Software Program, data aggregation, and back‑office processing/billing — and operates a TAMP that makes multiple Model Managers available to advisers. The firm also discloses recent material amendments (filed March 25, 2026) that renamed its screening service, expanded risk disclosures to include crypto assets and insurance carrier risk, and added disclosures about conflicts of interest relating to arrangements with Fidelity and trade aggregation practices.

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
