About

Quantitative Financial Strategies provides investment management, wealth management, project‑based financial planning, and retirement plan consulting primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth clients. The firm is fee‑only and generally charges percentage‑of‑assets advisory fees, with a stated typical account minimum of $5 million that may be reduced or waived.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes Modern Portfolio Theory and a blend of passive and active strategies, and it can implement model portfolios through Schwab’s Model Market Center, utilize DFA mutual funds, offer direct indexing, and allocate to long/short SMA sleeves or third‑party investment advisers. QFS typically operates with discretionary trading authority, customizes model implementations on the Schwab platform, and includes financial planning at no additional cost for wealth management clients.

Noteworthy operational features disclosed in the brochure include the firm’s use of compensated non‑employee promoters and endorsements in advertising—an arrangement the firm describes in its referral section and that is uncommon among similar supported firms. The brochure also highlights the firm’s use of AI tools to record and transcribe client meetings and its reliance on DFA funds (which may impose purchase restrictions if a client moves to an unaffiliated adviser), both of which are distinctive for a small, recently formed adviser managing substantial assets.
