About

Thryve Wealth Management provides wealth management, financial planning, discretionary investment management and retirement plan advisory to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, foundations, corporations and other entities. The firm engages clients through ongoing personal contact and written agreements to set investment strategy, asset allocation and portfolio construction.

Thryve’s investment process follows a Core‑and‑Satellite framework informed primarily by fundamental analysis, with a stated emphasis on U.S. markets and a de‑emphasis on small and micro‑cap public equities. The firm offers passive direct indexing with systematic tax‑loss harvesting via third‑party SMA platforms and supplements core holdings with satellite allocations to alternatives, including private equity, private credit, real assets, venture investments and digital assets.

Notable operational features include a requirement that clients approve a Tax Transition Analysis before enrolling in direct indexing and the use of platform providers to implement those strategies rather than executing each underlying trade in‑house. The advisory team is relatively compact yet oversees roughly $304 million across about 84 client relationships, and the firm maintains an explicit proxy‑voting policy that prioritizes shareholder value over social or political agendas.

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
