About

Meristead Wealth, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning predominantly for high‑net‑worth individuals and families, delivering separately managed accounts and participating in third‑party asset management programs. The firm also operates private credit funds marketed under a Meristead Alternatives DBA, with Funds I–III designed for accredited or qualified investors and, in some cases, certain retirement accounts.

The firm combines top‑down macro analysis with fundamental bottom‑up research to pursue an opportunistic, value‑oriented allocation across global equities and credit, employing strategies such as special situations, distressed investments, and income‑oriented positions. Meristead’s disclosures note use of derivatives (including options) and the potential for borrowing or leverage in certain strategies, and its private funds may invest both directly and via commitments to underlying funds and co‑investments.

Noteworthy distinctions include Meristead’s role as an investment manager to multiple private credit funds—one fund accepts IRA and Solo 401(k) contributions and another focuses on senior‑secured, real‑estate‑focused credit—and its disclosed marketing relationships with publishers (Marketwise and Porter & Company) that involve paid advertising and the receipt of research publications. The firm also holds a minority interest in an independent RIA, provides back‑office or investor‑relations services to partnered funds, and documents integrated advisory, publishing, and private‑fund activities that are less common among peer team firms.

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
