New Orleans, LA St Claude Ave Office

Upbeat Wealth serves individuals (including high-net-worth households), trusts, estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and small businesses, providing financial planning, discretionary investment management, retirement plan consulting, estate-planning support, and educational seminars. The firm’s service mix — portfolio management and ongoing planning — is consistent with what many supported firms offer.

The firm builds customized asset-allocation targets and implements portfolios on a discretionary basis, using a mix of fundamental and technical analysis and principles drawn from modern portfolio theory, with regular monitoring and rebalancing. Planning clients receive a written deliverable at least annually and ongoing access to the firm for updates and follow-up communications.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s regular offering of educational seminars (and occasional pro-bono seminars or planning), which is uncommon among peers, and its provision of retirement-plan consulting and employee enrollment assistance despite a small advisor team. Upbeat Wealth operates with a two-advisor structure managing a relatively small number of client relationships and a modest asset base, and its planners hold CFP certifications, which together may affect the level of direct access and hands-on service clients receive.
