About

Van Clemens Wealth Management, LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, trusts, estates and institutional clients, serving both non-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals. In addition to standard portfolio management and comprehensive planning, the firm offers retirement plan consulting, advisory variable annuities and fee‑based variable universal life insurance as part of its service set.

The firm customizes portfolios through discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements and bases recommendations on clients’ objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon, using methods that include modern portfolio theory, fundamental and technical analysis. Van Clemens routinely employs third‑party managers — accessing more than 500 TPMs across platforms such as Fidelity, Schwab, RBC, SEI, 55ip, Orion and Vise — and also offers an in‑house Growth Opportunities model that concentrates in micro‑ and small‑cap equities.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include recent engagements with model providers Orion and the AI-driven manager Vise (with some Vise fees embedded in advisory fees), use of third‑party promoters who may receive a substantial portion of advisory fees, and commercial incentives tied to RBC wrap program assets. The firm is affiliated with a broker‑dealer, an insurance agency, and tax services and relies on third‑party operations partners (Castleview Partners and Pontera) for back‑office, custody and held‑away account management; these relationships and related conflicts are disclosed and monitored in its regulatory filings.

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
