About
Wavvest serves individual clients both directly and through sub-advisory arrangements with other registered investment advisers, and it also provides investment management for employer-sponsored retirement plans administered on third-party recordkeeping platforms. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and implementation of model portfolios for Direct Clients and Third-Party Advised Clients.
Originally operating as an internet adviser via a technology-enabled platform, Wavvest uses proprietary tools to support risk profiling, portfolio construction, and ongoing account monitoring to align client information with its model strategies. Portfolios are constructed across ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities, fixed-income securities, and—when appropriate—limited alternative or private investments, with oversight provided by an Executive Investment Committee.
Distinctive features include its uncommon origin as an internet adviser and a recent expansion into direct advisory services and ERISA Section 3(38) investment manager roles on third-party platforms (for example, Vestwell), as described in the brochure. The firm is affiliated with a technology subsidiary that offers estate-planning document tools, insurance and tax-preparation integrations—relationships disclosed in the brochure and identified as potential conflicts of interest—and reports roughly $340 million in discretionary assets under 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
