Firm profile

Overview

Wernau Asset Management is an independent, SEC-registered registered investment adviser that began filing in 2020 and is owned by an individual. The firm serves both individual and family clients as well as institutional clients, offering financial planning and portfolio management for individuals, small businesses, and institutions. Its fee arrangements include traditional percentage-of-AUM billing alongside hourly and fixed-fee options. Wernau reports that it is not a capital allocator and does not position itself as an active ESG investor or a pension consultant. The firm lists several industry affiliations and roles that suggest involvement beyond plain advisory work: accountant and sponsor relationships and positions as a general partner or managing member of pooled investment vehicles. Custody is concentrated with National Financial Services LLC.
