About
Empath Wealth LLC is a fee‑only, state‑registered investment adviser serving individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals. The firm operates as a single‑advisor practice offering investment management alongside comprehensive financial planning on either an ongoing or project basis, and reports roughly $1.17 million in discretionary assets for a very small client roster.
The firm uses a client‑specific investment policy framework grounded in modern portfolio theory and a blend of passive and active strategies, and it may engage outside managers to implement portions of client portfolios. Financial planning is integrated with investment oversight and the firm explicitly incorporates ongoing monitoring and assessments of client psychology as part of its monthly service model.
Unlike many independent advisers, Empath Wealth does not rely on percentage‑of‑assets‑under‑management fees and instead uses fixed, project, or hourly planning arrangements while including investment management as part of its ongoing planning service. The combination of a very small client base, non‑AUM fee structure, and an explicit focus on behavioral/psychological coaching in the planning process are noteworthy compared with typical solo independent firms.

Not sure where to start?
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.
