Stono River Wealth Management LLC

The firm provides discretionary asset management and standalone financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, non-profits, small businesses and estates. Services include ongoing portfolio management tailored to client goals, as well as financial plans that the firm states are completed and delivered within about 30 days once documents are provided.

The firm’s investment process draws on fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and includes use of equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds, foreign securities and options where appropriate; accounts are managed on a discretionary basis and are reviewed at least quarterly. Portfolios are constructed to reflect each client’s stated objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance, and clients may impose written restrictions on investments.

Several operational features distinguish this small, recently formed, single‑advisor firm: the sole investment adviser also serves as the firm’s compliance officer and conducts the firm’s own trading reviews; the firm reports roughly $15.3 million in assets and about 20 clients and does not require a minimum account size. The adviser may engage third‑party sub‑advisors to manage all or part of client assets (with disclosed conflicts arising if fee differentials exist), the firm does not vote client proxies, and it may receive custodial research or “soft dollar” benefits from recommended brokers.
