About

Clariti Wealth Advisors works primarily with individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals, as well as trustees, qualified retirement plans, and non-profit organizations. The firm provides integrated financial planning and investment management services—covering goal setting, cash flow, tax and estate considerations—with additional offerings such as hourly consultations and trustee support for periodic trust distributions.

Portfolios are constructed as diversified allocations across stocks, bonds, alternatives, and real assets, using mutual funds and ETFs with a mix of active and passive managers, and allocations are set based on documented risk tolerance, risk capacity, and Monte Carlo analysis for withdrawal sustainability. Clariti also employs derivatives—specifically options strategies within separately managed accounts—primarily for hedging, and may use interval funds and recommend unaffiliated private investment funds when consistent with a client’s objectives and liquidity needs.

What is relatively uncommon among peer team firms is Clariti’s explicit use of options/derivative strategies in client accounts and its formal disclosures about those risks and client opt-out rights. The brochure also notes other notable practices: a documented AI policy governing use of AI tools, use of third‑party aggregation/reporting (ByAllAccounts), annual tax‑planning reviews and access to a CPA for separate tax services, and surprise examinations for accounts over which the firm is considered to have custody.
