About
Tortoise Wealth Management provides fee-based investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals as well as institutional clients such as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, and business entities. The firm reports managing about $11.2 million for roughly 56 clients and delivers discretionary portfolio management alongside separate hourly or fixed-fee financial planning engagements.
The advisor follows a tactical allocation approach intended to reduce risk and seek improved performance, implementing custom, discretionary portfolios across a broad set of instruments including equities, fixed income, mutual funds, warrants, CDs, municipal and U.S. government securities, and interests in real estate partnerships. Tortoise Wealth uses multiple analysis methods (fundamental, technical, cyclical and Modern Portfolio Theory) and may employ cash positions, sector weighting, or targeted stock selections as tactical adjustments to client portfolios.
Noteworthy for a small, founder-led advisory firm, Tortoise Wealth offers qualified retirement plan consulting with ERISA Section 3(21) fiduciary services and participant education—services that are less common among peers. The principal is also licensed as an insurance agent and may effect insurance transactions (insurance work represents under 10% of his time); the brochure discloses the resulting conflicts of interest and describes a Code of Ethics and policies intended to mitigate those conflicts.

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
