Salmon Bay Wealth Management, LLC

Salmon Bay Wealth Management is a single-advisor independent firm that provides financial planning, consulting, and discretionary asset management for individuals and legal entities. The firm serves a small number of households — including emerging high-net-worth individuals, young professionals, business owners, and retirees — and manages a modest asset base, resulting in a very small client roster and a boutique service model.

The firm uses fundamental and macro analysis to construct and manage portfolios across a wide range of instruments, including individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, REITs, and options, and it may employ covered-call writing, margin transactions, and other more complex strategies for appropriate clients. Financial planning is offered as either written plans or consulting engagements, clients may impose written investment restrictions, accounts are reviewed at least quarterly, and custodial and trade execution arrangements include both block and directed trading.

Several features distinguish this practice from many peers: the principal holds both CFA and CFP credentials and has prior chief investment officer experience, and the adviser makes use of prime brokerage arrangements for individual bond purchases and explicit option-writing strategies — practices less common among firms of this size. The firm operates with no broker-dealer affiliations, does not accept soft-dollar arrangements, and does not vote client proxies, leaving proxy decisions with clients.
