About

EQ Wealth Management is a registered investment adviser that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and integrated financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and private funds. The firm implements portfolios through firm‑managed EQ Models as well as third‑party managed and sub‑advised programs, and it accepts oversight and reporting responsibilities for held‑away assets.

Investment decisions are driven by an Investment Policy Committee that uses fundamental and cyclical analysis to construct diversified models, select managers and monitor performance, with model accounts typically managed on a discretionary basis and customized models available on a non‑discretionary basis. The firm also operates pooled vehicles and managed programs and documents due diligence and quarterly monitoring practices for managers, sub‑advisors and held‑away investments in its Form ADV.

Notably, the firm manages an affiliated private vehicle, the EQ Income Fund I, and principals hold a combined 25% ownership interest in an affiliated real‑estate development company (Axiom‑West LLC), which the brochure identifies as a source of potential conflicts of interest that are disclosed to clients. The firm’s structure — acting as private fund adviser and sponsor of pooled real‑estate investments while using third‑party sub‑advisors and participating in industry seminars and support services — is less common among similarly sized team advisory firms.
