About

Newport Wealth Advisors provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management and personal financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. As of December 31, 2024 the firm reported approximately $193.26 million in assets under management and its advisory services are delivered by a small team of investment adviser representatives.

The firm builds globally diversified portfolios tailored to client Investment Policy Statements and uses a mix of fundamental, technical and charting analysis, with portfolio rebalancing software to maintain allocations; strategies may include long‑term and short‑term purchases, options and other derivative instruments where appropriate. Newport also recommends and monitors third‑party advisers for portions of client assets and performs ongoing account reviews, generally at least quarterly.

What distinguishes Newport from many peers is its disclosure that some associated advisers are registered representatives of Centaurus Financial, a broker‑dealer, and that certain investment adviser representatives are separately licensed insurance agents who may receive commissions for insurance sales. The brochure also notes the firm may share fees with third‑party advisers, so despite describing its advisory practice as fee‑based, clients may encounter brokerage commissions and separate insurance compensation through affiliated representatives.
