About

Exponent Wealth provides financial planning and ongoing portfolio management services principally to high‑net‑worth individuals, families, trusts, and businesses. The firm operates with a small client roster—approximately 25 clients supported by a six‑advisor team—and offers planning focused on net worth, cash flow, business/exit planning for owners, and coordinated tax and estate considerations.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, quantitative, and manager/vehicle due diligence within a Modern Portfolio Theory framework, with weekly monitoring, quarterly manager reviews, and formal client reviews at least annually. Exponent typically manages liquid portfolios on a discretionary basis and can engage third‑party subadvisers for portions of assets, while recommendations for private funds and other alternative investments are made on a non‑discretionary basis; the firm also uses equity option strategies to address concentrated public stock positions.

What is noteworthy relative to peers is the high advisor‑to‑client ratio and modest asset scale for a multi‑advisor team, which the firm supports with frequent internal oversight and due diligence. Exponent’s use of subadvisors with disclosed fee schedules (and no firm receipt of subadvisor compensation), emphasis on access to private/alternative investments, and a practice of leaving proxy voting to clients distinguish its operating model from many peers.
