Uplevel Wealth

Uplevel Wealth is a fee-only registered adviser that serves individual and high-net-worth clients through discretionary portfolio management combined with comprehensive financial planning. The firm offers ongoing wealth-management engagements as well as stand‑alone and project-based planning arrangements, and generally requires $1,000,000 in assets for its wealth-management service (with limited waivers).

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and primarily implemented via passive, diversified exposures such as index mutual funds and ETFs, with portfolios constructed to target asset-allocation objectives. Uplevel manages discretionary accounts, provides quarterly reporting and annual plan reviews, and may employ a sub-advisor (Dimensional Fund Advisors) for certain accounts while maintaining custody relationships through Charles Schwab and executing trades on an individual rather than block-trading basis.

What is notable about Uplevel Wealth compared with many peers is its small adviser team and client concentration — the firm reported approximately $115.76 million in discretionary AUM across 44 clients with two advisers as of December 31, 2025 — and its recent addition of sub-advisory services. The brochure also discloses operational features that are less common for similarly sized firms, including formal third‑party standing letter of authorization procedures with specific safeguards and service limitations for Washington residents.
