Dakota Wealth, LLC

Dakota Wealth, LLC serves a broad mix of individuals (including high net worth clients), trusts, foundations, retirement plans, charitable organizations and business enterprises. The firm offers wealth management, discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, stand‑alone financial planning and investment consulting, retirement plan advisory services (including 3(21)/3(38) roles), and acts as an advisor to pooled vehicles and registered investment companies.

The firm builds customized, primarily long‑term portfolios using mutual funds and ETFs alongside individual equities, fixed income, structured products, REITs and options, and may allocate to independent managers when appropriate. Dakota Wealth emphasizes ongoing oversight and due diligence—its disclosure notes that private fund allocations are researched in‑house (including on‑site visits) and that most client assets are managed on a discretionary basis.

What distinguishes Dakota Wealth from many peers is its active role as a manager and general partner to private funds (the Persimmon Absolute Return Fund master/feeder structure) and its engagement as sub‑adviser to a registered ETF, arrangements the firm discloses as creating potential conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses affiliated tax services, use of an insurance platform relationship, institutional arrangements with multiple custodians that provide platform benefits, and a generally no‑minimum relationship policy that may be atypical for an enterprise advisor of its scale.
