Ballast Wealth LLC

Ballast Wealth LLC is a state-registered investment adviser that provides discretionary investment management and related advisory services to individuals, trusts, estates and small businesses. The firm delivers ongoing portfolio management for individual clients and reports managing approximately $58 million in client assets.

The advisor uses a combination of fundamental and technical analysis to build primarily long-term portfolios, typically emphasizing individual equity selection while supplementing with mutual funds and ETFs as appropriate. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis with strategies tailored to each client’s objectives, risk tolerance and tax considerations, and the firm may engage sub‑advisors or make shorter-term trades for rebalancing, tax‑loss harvesting, or risk management.

Distinctively, Ballast Wealth emphasizes direct equity selection rather than relying mainly on pooled products, and the scale and mix of assets described in the brochure suggest it primarily serves individual (non‑high‑net‑worth) clients even though high‑net‑worth clients are listed among eligible client types. As a relatively small, recently established firm, Ballast Wealth maintains an institutional custodial relationship that provides technology and operational support and includes any sub‑advisory costs within its advisory fee structure.
