About

Wellment Financial provides investment management, manager selection and financial planning services to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals and institutional clients, including profit‑sharing plans and solo 401(k) plans. The firm emphasizes retirement planning with a focus on tax strategies and delivers managed accounts through a third‑party sub‑advisor and wrap‑fee platform (AE Wealth Management).

Wellment generally implements diversified model portfolios and may employ value investing, tactical and strategic asset allocation, as well as enhanced programs such as direct indexing to pursue tax efficiency and customization. Portfolios are managed on discretionary or non‑discretionary bases, and the firm offers client‑managed account access to the sub‑advisor’s platform as a non‑fiduciary accommodation subject to a flat platform fee and transaction costs.

Distinctive features include affiliations with an accounting firm (FSR Certified Public Accountants Ltd.) and a licensed insurance agency (FSR Insurance Planning Ltd.), and some of the firm’s adviser representatives provide accounting or insurance services through those affiliates, which Wellment discloses as potential conflicts of interest. The firm’s use of a sub‑advisor and a wrap fee arrangement—where advisory fees are paid to and allocated by the sub‑advisor rather than billed directly by Wellment—is another operational characteristic that differentiates it from many peers.
