About

Belleair Wealth Management is a fee‑based registered investment adviser that provides discretionary wealth management and separate consulting services to individuals, including high‑net‑worth clients. The firm reports managing about $111 million for roughly 150 clients and offers an initial, no‑cost Discovery Meeting to identify goals and determine a suitable advisory engagement.

The firm’s investment process draws on multiple analytical methods—fundamental, quantitative, technical, cyclical, and behavioral—and employs a range of portfolio approaches including strategic and tactical asset allocation, core‑satellite construction, value and bond strategies. It uses a diversified mix of equities, fixed income, mutual funds, ETFs and cash and implements options strategies (covered calls, cash‑secured puts, index puts and spreads) while stating it does not sell uncovered options; most accounts are managed on a discretionary basis.

What is noteworthy for a team‑style advisory firm is its affiliation with a full‑service accounting practice and a separate insurance agency, arrangements the brochure discloses can create potential conflicts of interest and time‑management considerations for management personnel. The firm describes these relationships and the referral practices and safeguards in its brochure so prospective clients can consider the implications of using affiliated accounting or insurance services.
