About

Private Wealth Asset Management provides investment advisory and related non‑investment services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), family offices, trusts, estates, philanthropic and other business entities. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, wealth management and selection of third‑party advisors, and also delivers specialized services through partner relationships, including oil & gas holdings management, real‑estate asset management and a “Circle of Services” that can include crypto platform recommendations.

The firm’s investment approach combines strategic asset allocation informed by Modern Portfolio Theory with tactical adjustments when the Investment Committee identifies market dislocations, using a mix of quantitative, fundamental, technical and economic analysis. Private Wealth typically manages portfolios on a discretionary basis, may allocate to sub‑advisers or third‑party managers, and performs ongoing reviews and committee oversight of models and manager selection.

Several features distinguish Private Wealth from many peers: it is a registered insurance agency with licensed insurance agents among its representatives and discloses receipt of insurance and broker‑dealer compensation and related conflicts of interest. The brochure also highlights advice on private placements, the use of third‑party partnerships and referral arrangements (including a cash sweep referral program), extensive custodial and research support from Fidelity, and a proxy‑voting practice that currently includes voting for some clients while generally leaving proxy authority with clients.
