About

CogentBlue Wealth Advisors, LLC is an SEC‑registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm offers both ongoing investment management (including use of third‑party managers/TAMPs) and project or hourly financial planning engagements.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in modern portfolio theory and portfolio construction tailored to each client’s investment policy statement, with regular monitoring and rebalancing. CogentBlue also supports held‑away accounts through a Pontera integration that permits allocation changes without custodial access to client credentials, and it uses outside managers and sub‑advisors where appropriate.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include its role in selling life and health insurance products to clients (commissions from those sales are disclosed as separate from advisory fees) and its operational arrangements with service providers such as Focus Partners and custodians including Charles Schwab and Fidelity. CogentBlue manages roughly $605 million in discretionary assets while maintaining a relatively modest number of client relationships, which results in higher average account sizes than many peers.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
