Slaten Wealth Management

Slaten Wealth Management provides fee-based investment advisory and portfolio management services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities, serving roughly 167 client relationships with about $36 million in assets under management. Services are delivered on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis and include custom portfolio management as well as recommendations and oversight for third‑party managed account programs.

The firm follows a tactical allocation approach that blends fundamental and technical analysis to manage risk and seek performance, and it typically employs exchange-listed equities, corporate and municipal debt, CDs, mutual funds, and options. Investment strategies noted in the brochure include long- and short-term purchases as well as covered option writing, spreading strategies, and cash‑secured puts, with accounts reviewed at least quarterly and portfolios tailored to client profiles and restrictions.

Noteworthy for a firm of this size, Slaten also offers tax-related services through a separate d/b/a — with the firm’s principal devoting a meaningful portion of time to tax work — and its investment advisor representatives are licensed insurance agents who spend time selling life, health, and variable insurance products. The use of options and option-writing strategies in client accounts, together with the affiliated tax services and licensed insurance activity (and the firm’s disclosures about related conflicts), distinguishes its service mix from many peers.
