About
Tortuga Wealth Management advises individuals and high‑net‑worth clients and provides financial planning, consulting and discretionary portfolio management. The firm manages roughly $222.9 million in discretionary assets and delivers investment services primarily through LPL Financial–sponsored programs and its own wrap fee offering.
The firm employs a mix of fundamental and technical analysis (including charting and cyclical analysis) and uses a range of strategies from long‑term and short‑term purchases to active trading, option writing, short sales and margin. It also discloses use of derivatives and recommends cryptocurrency products, and it implements borrowing within separately managed accounts — practices that introduce additional market, leverage and counterparty risks.
Tortuga is notable among peers for sponsoring a wrap fee program and for relying on multiple LPL program platforms (OMP, PWP, MWP, MAS) to deliver asset management, with asset management described as offered only through wrapped accounts. Its advisors are dually registered with LPL and sell insurance products, and the brochure documents specialized planning services (e.g., cost segregation studies, corporate structure and lines of credit analysis) that extend beyond standard individual wealth management.

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.
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
