About

Embark Wealth Management, LLC provides investment supervisory services and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, and small businesses; the firm reports managing roughly $57.4 million across about 369 client relationships and is supported by three advisors. It implements portfolios using mutual funds, equities, bonds, ETFs, REITs, private placements and insurance products as part of its service suite.

The firm’s investment process is grounded in fundamental analysis and includes long‑ and short‑term trading and options writing, with each client assigned an Investment Policy Statement that documents objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance and guides monitoring. While Embark may request discretionary authority in agreements, its disclosed assets under management are primarily non‑discretionary (about $57.4M non‑discretionary and $0 discretionary as of December 2025), so clients typically retain trade approval.

Noteworthy features include formal affiliations with an insurance agency and with an accounting/retirement‑plan business; firm personnel are licensed to sell insurance and provide retirement‑plan services, and the brochure discloses these ties and related conflicts of interest. The firm also directs clients to use a specific custodian (Shareholders Service Group), receives research/soft‑dollar benefits, and uses direct fee deductions for billing—operational choices that affect custody, execution and potential conflicts relative to 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.
