About

Smallwood Wealth Management serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations, providing ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and pension consulting. The firm documents client objectives and risk tolerance in Investment Policy Statements and offers both discretionary portfolio management and one‑time or ongoing financial planning engagements.

The firm’s investment approach combines modern portfolio theory with a long‑term trading orientation and uses mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income (including Treasury inflation‑protected securities), annuities, and non‑U.S. securities; it may engage sub‑advisers for specialized strategies. It also participates in wrap fee programs and administers wrap arrangements in which the adviser charges a single comprehensive fee and pays transaction and third‑party costs from that fee — a feature that is relatively uncommon among comparable team firms.

Distinctive operational features include a requirement that clients custody accounts at a specified institutional custodian and a “Service Only” category for smaller accounts that limits proactive portfolio reviews. The firm discloses referral arrangements for life‑settlement transactions and that its supervised persons engage in broker‑dealer and insurance activities and offer affiliated client‑only software, all of which are identified in the brochure and addressed through disclosures and consent processes.
