About

TRUE Private Wealth Advisors provides advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm offers discretionary investment management, fee‑based financial planning, institutional and consulting services, and educational seminars, managing approximately $1.43 billion in discretionary assets for a broadly diversified client base.

The firm's investment philosophy is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and implemented through Advisory Groups: each Advisory Group develops and manages its own model portfolios and may implement “Extended Portfolios” that include individual securities or alternative exposures, with TPWA's Investment Committee providing oversight. Accounts are typically managed on a discretionary, household‑aggregated basis, Representatives may engage subadvisers or third‑party managers, and TPWA commonly recommends Fidelity as custodian while maintaining flexibility to use third‑party programs.

Noteworthy features disclosed in the brochure include the firm’s multi‑team structure that permits Advisory Groups to set portfolio design, account minimums (which may be up to $500,000) and negotiable fee arrangements, and TPWA’s relationship with Dynasty Financial Partners that provides preferential operational and technology services and involves revenue‑sharing and ownership ties. The brochure also highlights limited client access to a Fidelity IPO service for eligible clients, Representatives’ ability to earn insurance commissions (a potential conflict of interest), and TPWA’s current stance of not approving digital assets for discretionary client portfolios.
