About
North Woods Wealth Management provides discretionary investment management, retirement plan consulting, and participant account management to individuals, trusts, and retirement plans, serving both high‑net‑worth and non‑HNW clients. The firm also offers cash‑flow and retirement planning analysis to inform spending, retirement timing, and portfolio design decisions.
The firm applies a “Three Filter” investment process that prioritizes long‑term asset allocation, followed by fund/manager selection and portfolio‑level factor exposure, combining passive index exposures with selective active managers and fundamental security analysis. Portfolios are implemented into four archetypes (U.S. Treasury, Income, Growth & Income, Growth), managed on a discretionary basis with rebalancing and periodic reviews, and may employ bucket strategies for withdrawal planning.
Compared with many peers, North Woods pairs traditional wealth management with retirement‑plan services and uses a third‑party platform (Pontera) to manage held‑away participant accounts with discretion while avoiding custody, an operational approach less common among similar firms. The firm also explicitly evaluates factor tilts at the portfolio level, encourages multi‑generational involvement in planning, and manages roughly $150 million in client assets across its client base.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
