Augustus Wealth, LLC

Augustus Wealth provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, retirement plans, and small businesses. Its offerings include comprehensive financial planning and consulting, discretionary portfolio management, and retirement plan consulting for plan sponsors and participants.

The firm combines fundamental, technical, quantitative, and sector analysis to build tailored asset-allocation strategies and employs both long- and short-term trading, tactical and core-satellite approaches, and ongoing portfolio monitoring. The brochure discloses that Augustus uses borrowing (margin) and option strategies within separately managed accounts and bills advisory fees on margin positions, practices that are uncommon among peers and which the firm notes increase both potential risk and return.

A distinctive operational feature is management of “held-away” accounts (401(k)s, HSAs, and similar assets) using a third‑party order management tool (Pontera) to implement tax-efficient asset location and opportunistic rebalancing, with the firm covering Pontera’s 0.25% fee. The firm also offers services often sought by corporate clients—such as RSU and stock option analysis, cost segregation and corporate-structure advice—and provides ERISA‑aware retirement plan consulting, features that stand out for a smaller advisory practice.
