About

Wealthspire Advisors serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporate and nonprofit entities, and retirement plans, providing wealth management, financial planning, investment advisory, family office support, trustee services, and investment consulting. The firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, separate account manager selection and oversight, comprehensive consolidated reporting, and tax reporting packages to support client planning and administration.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes diversified, institutional‑style asset allocation (drawing on endowment/foundation principles) and uses a range of portfolio guidelines from Ultra Conservative to All Equity to match client risk profiles. Wealthspire blends active and passive strategies, conducts ongoing manager due diligence, maintains sub‑advisory relationships, and supplements custody statements with consolidated performance and tax materials; it also uses a third‑party platform (Pontera) to facilitate management of held‑away retirement assets.

Distinctive aspects in the brochure include a documented acquisition lineage (e.g., Sontag, Bronfman Rothschild/Baker Tilly) and explicit reference to predecessor performance, reflecting how the firm presents consolidated historical results. The firm is also affiliated with Retirement Advisory, an affiliate that specializes in pension/401(k) services and participates in mutual referral and fee‑sharing arrangements for plan work—an arrangement the brochure highlights as part of its ERISA service model—while also offering trustee and family‑office services that some peers of similar scale do not emphasize.
