About

Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services (WEAS) provides financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary asset management, retirement‑plan consulting, and referrals to separate managed account investment managers for individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, corporations and retirement plans. The firm operates at scale—managing over $122 billion in regulatory AUM through a large advisor network and multiple program options including wrap, ETF‑focused, institutional, and model‑based solutions.

WEAS’s investment process emphasizes diversified, risk‑class based allocations that blend passive and active managers and employ quantitative, momentum, and fundamental analysis; portfolio construction and rebalancing are overseen by an internal Investment Committee. The firm also offers a range of implementation tools and services—including held‑away account management via the Pontera platform, sub‑advisory SMA access, asset‑location services, and model portfolios—while noting that model and third‑party providers are evaluated for cost, tax efficiency, and manager due diligence.

Compared with many large enterprises, WEAS discloses several uncommon features and inter‑firm arrangements in its brochure: it documents transitional billing practices for clients transferred from predecessor advisers and, unusually for firms of its size, advertises predecessor performance; it also delegates operational and TAMP functions to an affiliate (Advisory Solutions Group) and relies on multiple affiliated services such as NorthCrest sub‑advice, an affiliated trust company (WETS), and a tax/consulting affiliate. The brochure further highlights potential conflicts tied to advisor equity ownership, model‑provider fee markups, and referral arrangements with custodians and third‑party platforms—matters the firm discloses as part of its compliance and client‑disclosure practices.
