About
Desert Wealth Management is a fee-only investment adviser that provides discretionary asset management primarily for individual and high-net-worth clients. According to the firm brochure, it managed approximately $49.6 million in discretionary client assets as of December 31, 2025 and works with a small client base (about 39 clients) supported by two advisors.
The firm describes an academic investment approach that emphasizes macroeconomic analysis alongside fundamental security analysis to set asset allocation and select investments, and it implements long-term, short-term and trading strategies as appropriate to client objectives. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis, clients may impose written investment restrictions, and the firm requires the use of a specified custodian for trade execution and custody.
A few operational features distinguish the firm from many peers: ownership is highly concentrated (one owner holds a substantial majority interest), the firm does not aggregate trades for block execution and does not vote client proxies (clients receive and vote their own proxy materials). The brochure also notes the firm is deemed to have limited custody because advisory fees are deducted by the custodian and it uses third‑party standing letters of authorization (SLOAs) while providing invoices and client statements concurrent with fee deductions.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
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.
