About

Wellment Financial provides investment management, manager selection and financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals and institutional clients, including profit‑sharing plans and solo 401(k) plans. The firm emphasizes retirement planning with a focus on tax strategies and delivers managed accounts through a third‑party sub‑advisor and wrap‑fee platform (AE Wealth Management).

Wellment generally implements diversified model portfolios and may employ value investing, tactical and strategic asset allocation, as well as enhanced programs such as direct indexing to pursue tax efficiency and customization. Portfolios are managed on discretionary or non‑discretionary bases, and the firm offers client‑managed account access to the sub‑advisor’s platform as a non‑fiduciary accommodation subject to a flat platform fee and transaction costs.

Distinctive features include affiliations with an accounting firm (FSR Certified Public Accountants Ltd.) and a licensed insurance agency (FSR Insurance Planning Ltd.), and some of the firm’s adviser representatives provide accounting or insurance services through those affiliates, which Wellment discloses as potential conflicts of interest. The firm’s use of a sub‑advisor and a wrap fee arrangement—where advisory fees are paid to and allocated by the sub‑advisor rather than billed directly by Wellment—is another operational characteristic that differentiates it from many peers.

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
