About

The Institute for Wealth Management advises individuals, trusts, retirement plans, charitable organizations, and other business entities, managing approximately $1.37 billion for about 803 clients through a team of 17 advisors. Services described in the brochure include financial planning, discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, cash-management solutions, sub-advisory and signal-provider relationships, and access to private fund investments.

The firm’s investment process is built around an internally led Investment Committee that constructs model portfolios using a mix of fundamental and technical analysis, and offers clients a choice of firm-managed models or advisor-managed (Rep as PM) customized implementations. Its strategy slate ranges from global, ESG-oriented core portfolios to tactical sector-rotation and targeted equity and income approaches, with the committee incorporating outside consultants and occasional third‑party managers into model construction.

What distinguishes the firm from many multi-team peers is its role in pooled and private fund activities — it serves as an investment adviser to private funds and pooled vehicles, acts as a sub-advisor and signal provider to other advisers, and discloses claiming custody of private fund assets (with related surprise-audit procedures). The brochure also highlights notable business relationships and marketing arrangements (including referral programs and custodian-provided services) and discloses potential conflicts tied to affiliated fund management and outside business activities.
