About
Watts Capital Partners, LLC serves U.S. and non‑U.S. individuals, families, business owners, and enterprises — including Gen X/Gen Y professionals and clients navigating divorce — by providing financial planning, wealth management, and investment management services. Its planning services follow a documented four‑step process and include cash‑flow, retirement, business‑owner, income tax and charitable/legacy planning, with specific tax planning expertise for non‑U.S. investors.
The firm implements individualized plans by allocating across Core strategies (factor‑tilted long‑term allocations), Tactical strategies (model‑driven, risk‑on/risk‑off timing) and Alternative strategies (real estate, private equity, private credit), and provides both discretionary management and non‑discretionary allocations for certain investments. Watts Capital runs proprietary quantitative tactical models (the WattsPreston Disruptive Stock Strategy and the Watts Tactical Growth Strategy) and employs trading tools such as options writing, margin and short‑term trading, including the use of derivatives in separately managed accounts.
Distinctive features include the firm’s willingness to accept performance‑based fees for certain investments (typically products available only to accredited investors) and its explicit use of derivatives and options strategies, which are uncommon among similar team‑based advisors. The brochure also discloses related‑party financial arrangements involving an affiliate and a policy requiring reassessment after material financial events, a transparency point prospective clients may consider when evaluating the firm.

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
