Cox & Cook Wealth Advisors

Cox & Cook Wealth Advisors provides ongoing portfolio management and financial planning services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, and corporate entities. The firm manages approximately $119.5 million for its client base and documents client objectives and risk tolerances through individualized Investment Policy Statements, while also offering stand‑alone financial planning and consulting on an hourly basis.

The firm’s investment process blends charting, fundamental and technical analysis with modern portfolio theory, and it employs long‑term trading alongside options strategies (including covered and uncovered option positions) with discretionary authority for trading when granted. Cox & Cook requires clients to use Schwab Institutional for custody, bills asset‑based fees in advance on a quarterly basis, and manages client assets internally rather than selecting outside managers.

Notable differences from many peers include the firm’s engagement in educational seminars or workshops and the fact that certain principals also act as registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and are licensed insurance agents, accepting commissions for some insurance and securities products (disclosed as potential conflicts of interest). The firm was formed in 2004 but did not register as an investment adviser until 2015, maintains a $750,000 standard account minimum (with negotiable exceptions for referrals or legacy accounts), and manages both discretionary and non‑discretionary assets in‑house.
