Ignite Planners LLC

Ignite Planners serves a broad mix of individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, along with trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities, providing asset management, financial planning and referrals to third‑party money managers. The brochure also describes a held‑away asset service that uses the Pontera platform to implement tax‑efficient asset location and rebalancing for 401(k)s, HSAs and similar accounts.

The firm constructs individualized portfolios that may include individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and alternative or private securities, and it says portfolios are continuously monitored and rebalanced to align with clients’ stated goals, time horizons and risk tolerances. Ignite Planners describes a multi‑disciplinary investment process that uses fundamental, technical, cyclical analysis and modern portfolio theory principles, and it provides discretionary management with periodic reviews.

What is noteworthy relative to many peers is the firm’s use of performance‑based compensation arrangements with qualified clients (including a high‑water‑mark approach and eligibility criteria described in the brochure) and its involvement with private and alternative investments such as hedge funds, REITs and BDCs. The brochure also highlights potential conflicts and overlapping activities—advisors who are registered representatives and insurance agents—and the firm’s practice of absorbing the Pontera platform fee for held‑away assets; the firm’s reported client base includes less common institutional types such as sovereign wealth funds.
