About
Avant-Garde Wealth is a single-advisor registered investment adviser that offers ongoing and hourly financial planning, discretionary investment management, and educational seminars and webinars. The firm’s brochure says it serves individuals (including high-income and high-net-worth clients) and also provides services to business and nonprofit clients.
The firm describes an investment approach grounded in long-term, academically informed strategies that emphasize index mutual funds and ETFs, and it formalizes client objectives in Investment Policy Statements covering allocation, rebalancing, tax management, and reporting. Financial planning is integrated with portfolio construction and ongoing monitoring, and the firm accepts discretionary authority for investment management engagements.
Compared with many solo independent advisers, Avant-Garde’s brochure highlights educational offerings and organizational involvement—including seminars/webinars and the principal’s board participation with a nonprofit—suggesting a broader client and community focus than typical retail-only practices. The firm requires Charles Schwab Institutional custody, uses AdvicePay to facilitate bank-account fee withdrawals, and notes registration filings in multiple states despite operating without additional staff or offices.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
