Winston Wealth Strategies, LLC

Winston Wealth Strategies, LLC provides discretionary asset management and related services, including allocation to independent third-party asset managers, financial planning and consulting, and ERISA plan services as a limited-scope 3(21) fiduciary for qualified retirement plans. The firm’s client mix includes retirement plan sponsors as well as individual investors — including both non-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals — reflecting a blend of pooled/institutional and individual relationships.

The firm typically manages portfolios under discretionary authority and uses methods such as fundamental analysis, Modern Portfolio Theory, and Monte Carlo modeling; it may implement strategies directly or by recommending third-party asset managers after due diligence and ongoing monitoring. Fees are primarily percentage-of-assets-under-management on a tiered schedule (with separate TPAM fees disclosed), and the firm also offers hourly financial planning services ($150 per hour); it requires client consent for custodial arrangements and directs custody through a specified custodian.

Compared with many investment-manager peers, Winston Wealth’s combination of ERISA 3(21) pension consulting, active selection and monitoring of third‑party managers (with an express policy of no revenue‑sharing from TPAMs), and direct work with both HNW and non‑HNW individual clients is relatively uncommon. Other noteworthy operational features disclosed in the brochure include a documented TPAM due‑diligence process (reviewing philosophy, performance, risk controls, personnel, operations, fees, and minimums) and a policy of not voting client proxies unless clients request assistance.
