About

Basalt Wealth serves individual investors—including both high-net-worth and other individual clients—as well as pension and profit-sharing plans, providing financial planning, customized portfolio management, and pension consulting. The firm’s advisory offerings extend beyond typical asset management to include pooled investment vehicle management, security ratings and pricing services, and assistance in selecting third‑party advisers.

The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis to pursue long‑term capital appreciation in equities, while also employing options and other derivative instruments and, in some strategies, explicit market‑timing techniques to manage entry and exit points. Services are tailored to client objectives and constraints, and the firm accommodates client‑imposed restrictions and periodic reviews to align portfolios with evolving goals.

Compared with peers, Basalt Wealth is notable for a cluster of uncommon practices for a small advisory firm: it provides its own security ratings/pricing support, conducts educational seminars and workshops, references specific historical market examples in its materials, and may charge performance‑based fees for qualified clients. The firm also recommends brokerage platforms that offer cross‑border trading access (including Hong Kong and China A‑share markets) and routinely uses options/derivatives within managed accounts, features that are atypical among supported firms of this size.
