About

BankPlus Wealth Advisors (BWA) provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management to individuals, families, corporations, foundations and endowments, managing roughly $263.8 million across a team of advisors. Services described in the brochure focus on personalized portfolios, in‑house risk‑based model portfolios, and the discretionary selection and ongoing monitoring of third‑party money managers.

The firm emphasizes in‑house, fundamental research and long‑term active management, preferring profitable, industry‑leading companies and thoroughly researched fixed‑income positions rather than quantitative “black‑box” approaches; research sources include SEC filings, company financials and corporate disclosures. BWA’s process supports client‑specific restrictions in personalized accounts while also offering internally managed model portfolios that do not permit client‑level security restrictions.

A distinctive feature is that BPWM is wholly owned by BankPlus, a state banking corporation, a controlling affiliation the brochure discloses along with the firm’s policies for referring clients to banking services and the lack of referral compensation; BPWM also notes it does not offer insurance products. The brochure describes investment management services but does not include a standalone financial planning offering, and it records a recent material change: discontinuation of the BankPlus Digital Advisor platform effective January 2026.
