About

Watershed Private Wealth provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, retirement plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and businesses, and commonly pairs ongoing portfolio management with financial planning for clients. The firm states it tailors portfolios to each client’s goals, time horizon and risk tolerance and reports no account minimum for its services.

Watershed implements portfolios primarily through a sub-advisory relationship with GeoWealth Management and access to a model provider marketplace that includes third‑party managers and large asset managers. Its investment process uses a mix of quantitative, fundamental, technical and modern portfolio theory techniques and may employ strategies such as direct indexing, exchange-traded products (including cryptocurrency exposure), structured notes, margin and short-term trading as appropriate for client objectives.

The firm’s brochure emphasizes recent amendments disclosing material risks specific to direct indexing, securities-backed lines of credit (SBLOCs) and its use of artificial intelligence tools for analysis and meeting transcription. Watershed requires clients to use designated custodians accessed through its sub‑adviser, includes cash and cash equivalents as part of assets under management for fee purposes, and may allocate accounts to model managers that charge separate, additional model fees.

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.
