A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Van Ray Wealth Management

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Van Ray Wealth Management or one who fits your needs even better.

Van Ray Wealth Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, as well as retirement plans, corporations and charitable entities, offering portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, ongoing advising, and retirement‑plan consulting. The firm operates on a small, advisory team model with two advisors and a limited client roster, documenting goals and tailoring written plans before implementing investment strategies. The firm’s investment approach centers on strategic asset allocation with periodic rebalancing and it offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management; as of March 24, 2025 it reported roughly $4.13 million in discretionary assets and about $6.10 million in non‑discretionary assets, so the majority of assets are managed non‑discretionarily. Van Ray commonly recommends and monitors third‑party advisers and may enter co‑adviser/sub‑adviser relationships in which the sub‑adviser handles trading, execution, and reporting. A distinctive aspect of the firm is that one of its owners is a licensed insurance agent and the brochure discloses that the firm evaluates and may recommend insurance products (annuities, life, disability, long‑term care) as part of comprehensive planning, with insurance commissions payable to the agent—an affiliation the firm identifies as a potential conflict of interest. Combined with its heavier reliance on non‑discretionary arrangements and routine use of third‑party sub‑advisers, Van Ray’s service model blends financial planning, retirement‑plan education and insurance distribution in a boutique advisory setting.

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
