Overview

Forness Financial LLC is an independent registered investment adviser that began SEC registration in 2018 and is owned by an individual principal. The firm focuses on fee-based wealth management for individuals, families and small-business owners, offering financial planning and discretionary portfolio management. Its advisory model is percentage-of-AUM, and the practice is structured around individualized client relationships rather than institutional or pension consulting work. Forness Financial does not position itself as an ESG-focused manager, and it is not organized as a multi-state or related adviser or a capital allocator. Investment activity at Forness Financial centers on liquid, professionally managed public vehicles—primarily mutual funds—supplemented by allocations to external alternative managers where suitable. Portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis, with the firm emphasizing conventional asset-class exposure delivered through pooled funds and selectively using third-party strategies to address client objectives such as return enhancement or downside mitigation.
