About

Apeiron RIA is an SEC-registered, multi-advisor wealth management firm that serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, estates, retirement plans, small businesses and churches. The firm offers portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting and insurance product recommendations, and manages roughly $852 million in client assets, most of which are on a discretionary basis.

The firm describes a holistic, risk‑profile driven investment process that combines fundamental analysis, modern portfolio theory, technical and cyclical analysis and may use third‑party money managers, unified managed accounts, and private investment funds to implement client portfolios. Representatives typically seek discretionary trading authority and provide ERISA fiduciary services for retirement plans, with ongoing monitoring and plan governance support.

Apeiron is affiliated with an accounting practice through a registered employee who is an owner of a CPA firm and who receives referral compensation; the brochure discloses this relationship and clarifies clients are not required to use the accounting firm. The firm also notes that financial planning may be bundled into advisory engagements and, in some arrangements, fees can be structured based on a client’s net worth rather than solely on assets under management, and it does not impose an account minimum.
