Overview

BSW Wealth Partners operates as an independent registered investment adviser that has been SEC-registered since 1994 and is owned by an individual. The firm serves both high-net-worth individuals and families as well as institutional clients, and positions itself as a capital allocator—sourcing third-party managers in addition to providing direct portfolio management. Its advisory services include financial planning and portfolio management for individuals, small businesses, and larger business or institutional clients, plus selection of other advisers. BSW reports an active approach to ESG investing and offers a mix of fee arrangements (percentage of AUM, hourly, fixed fees and other structures). BSW’s business model blends discretionary portfolio management with advisory and planning work, and the firm explicitly acts as an allocator to external managers where appropriate. The firm was recognized on the Financial Times’ Top 300 RIA list in 2020.
