Uptick Partners, LLC

Uptick Partners provides wealth management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and retirement plans, delivering investment management, written financial planning, tax planning, and optional third‑party services. The firm also offers retirement plan consulting and investment/business exit consulting and implements client portfolios through separately managed accounts and other custody arrangements.

Portfolios are managed on both a discretionary and non‑discretionary basis using an asset‑allocation approach informed by a derivative of Modern Portfolio Theory and supplemented by fundamental, technical, cyclical, and behavioral analysis. Uptick employs third‑party model marketplaces and independent managers, uses third‑party risk‑assessment tools to quantify client risk profiles, and may allocate to structured products, non‑liquid alternatives, private equity, real estate syndicates, or cash management solutions such as the Keep program and Altruist One household subscription where appropriate.

The firm’s brochure discloses a couple of features that distinguish it from many peers: an explicit affiliation with Holistic Tax Solutions, LLC, an affiliated tax‑planning and tax‑preparation provider offered to clients, and the firm’s stated use of client testimonials in advertising. Uptick also reports approximately $1.06 billion in assets under management across roughly 1,135 clients and about 15 advisors, and it makes available held‑away account management and ERISA plan‑level (including 3(38)) services while generally not imposing a firm minimum portfolio requirement.
