About

Waterfront Wealth, Inc. serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), families, trusts, foundations, businesses and retirement plans, and also accepts institutional sub‑advisory engagements. The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, a Waterfront Asset Management program for specialized stock and bond management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory and management services.

Waterfront tailors portfolios through an initial assessment of client goals, time horizon and risk tolerance and uses a mix of strategies—active mutual‑fund allocations, ETF strategies, Dimensional fund approaches, individual‑security strategies and custom strategies (including hedging and state‑specific municipal bonds)—to implement client objectives. The firm provides ongoing monitoring and reporting, conducts quarterly reviews, and reports managing approximately $1.138 billion in discretionary assets as of March 2026.

In its disclosures the firm notes predecessor relationships with earlier broker‑dealers and indicates that it publishes performance results, predecessor performance, third‑party ratings and uses endorsements or testimonials in its marketing materials. The brochure also includes a disciplinary disclosure describing a 2023 administrative order and fine resolving a registration oversight by a management‑level representative.
