About

TFO Wealth Partners is a multi-team registered investment adviser managing roughly $5.66 billion that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, family office and tiered Family CFO services, retirement plan consulting, and consulting/allocations to third‑party managers for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, family offices, trusts, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm also makes available digital tools to clients, including the Trustworthy document‑management platform and access to the Vanilla estate‑planning platform.

The firm’s investment approach is long‑term and allocation‑driven, grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and implemented through model portfolios that rely primarily on mutual funds and ETFs (including Dimensional Fund Advisors and Vanguard) with systematic rebalancing and tax‑aware consideration; the brochure notes the use of Monte Carlo simulation and other analytical tools to generate projections. For specific mandates the firm may allocate to independent managers (commonly for fixed income) and offers opt‑in access to higher‑risk or less liquid exposures such as private market funds and cryptocurrency‑linked securities, with related risks disclosed.

Notable disclosures that distinguish the firm from many peers include an affiliated trust company (TFO Trust Company, LLC) and an affiliation with the law firm Husch Blackwell, as well as firm‑associated ownership in the general partner of a private real‑estate fund (PEM Real Estate Fund GP, with associated parties owning about 32% of the GP); the brochure describes related conflicts and operational limits. The brochure also documents the firm’s prior operating names dating back to 2003, describes the use of hypothetical modeling and third‑party platforms for estate and planning analyses, and highlights implementation constraints such as restricted access to certain DFA funds if a client transfers away.

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
