About

Live Oak Private Wealth serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth families) as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, corporations and charitable organizations, offering financial planning, consulting and discretionary investment management. The firm also provides retirement plan consulting and acts as the sponsor and manager of the Live Oak Private Wealth Wrap Program.

LOPW’s investment approach is conservative and value‑oriented, focused on capital preservation, margin of safety and a multi‑year (five‑year) horizon; it manages concentrated portfolios typically around twenty positions and emphasizes businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and attractive price‑to‑value ratios. The firm applies a private‑equity mindset to public markets, allocates across mutual funds, ETFs, private and alternative investments, and uses Independent Managers and private placement vehicles for eligible clients.

LOPW is owned by Live Oak Banking Company, and the brochure discloses cross‑referral practices and potential conflicts arising from that affiliation while noting it will not recommend investments in the bank’s parent, Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. The firm’s 2020 acquisition of Jolley Asset Management (with assignment of Jolley’s client agreements), its role as a wrap‑program sponsor/manager, and its provision of periodic written and electronic reports are features that differentiate it from many multi‑team peers.
