About

Steelhead Wealth Management serves employer plan sponsors, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities, offering discretionary investment management, standalone financial consulting, and retirement plan advisory services. The firm provides ongoing portfolio construction, monitoring, rebalancing and reporting, and may recommend third‑party independent managers or programs as part of its Investment Management offering.

Steelhead constructs client portfolios using a broad mix of securities and applies quantitative and qualitative analysis, modern portfolio theory and charting to guide allocation and trading decisions, typically on a discretionary basis. It also provides standalone Financial Consulting engagements (which do not grant trading authority) and retirement plan consulting under ERISA Section 3(21), with reporting and review processes described in the brochure.

Noteworthy details include a relatively large discretionary asset base (about $342 million) managed by a three‑adviser team and a client roster that emphasizes institutional and business-related clients rather than retail or high‑net‑worth households. The firm—recently established as an independent RIA—disclosed a temporary dual‑registration used to transition advisors, reports custody in connection with standing limited transfer authorizations, and leaves proxy voting to clients while disclosing its recommendation of a single custodian that provides certain economic benefits.

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
