Independent Wealth Network, Inc.

Independent Wealth Network, Inc. advises individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), as well as trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations, offering wealth management, ongoing financial planning, and consulting services. The firm’s 30 investment adviser representatives oversee about $518 million in client assets and may implement recommendations directly or by recommending third‑party managers.

Advisors work with clients to develop an Investment Policy Statement and, when engaged, typically have discretionary authority to implement portfolio strategies that may include long‑ and short‑term positions, options, margin, and both fundamental and technical analysis. IWN uses third‑party models and managers and also offers oversight of held‑away accounts (401(k)s, 529s, variable annuities) via a third‑party provider, Pontera, to align those assets with clients’ broader plans.

Some IWN associates are also registered representatives of unaffiliated broker‑dealers and licensed insurance agents, and the brochure discloses that such roles can produce commission compensation for brokerage or insurance product sales, creating potential conflicts of interest that are disclosed to clients. The firm likewise discloses other conflicts and arrangements — including use of third‑party models that may employ proprietary funds, fee‑sharing with third‑party managers, and certain advisors’ outside business activities — and documents these matters in advisors’ Part 2B brochures.
