About

Detalus Advisors provides wealth management and portfolio management services to a mix of individual clients (both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth), families, businesses, nonprofit organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and insurance company clients. Services described in the brochure include financial planning, ERISA/retirement plan advisory, variable annuity monitoring, and both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management.

The firm builds Investment Policy Statements with clients and implements actively managed, globally diversified strategies (their Qualified, Tax‑Aware, Growth & Income, and Long‑Horizon strategies) that typically use 4–20 mutual funds and ETFs alongside fixed income, alternatives, and option overlays. Detalus combines fundamental, technical, quantitative, and qualitative analysis, supplements its in‑house work with BlackRock’s OCIO inputs, and uses tax‑aware execution tools such as 55ip to pursue tax‑advantaged outcomes.

A distinctive aspect of Detalus is that it explicitly lists insurance companies among its client types and maintains an affiliated insurance services entity whose licensed personnel may receive commissions for insurance sales, a relationship the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The brochure also shows a notable mix of assets under management—material non‑discretionary assets alongside discretionary mandates—and a willingness to use non‑investment grade fixed income, private placements, and options strategies when appropriate.
