Overview

Wharton Business Group, LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser (registration in 2009) that serves both individual/family and institutional clients. The firm operates as a limited liability company and combines fee models—percentage of assets under management, hourly fees, and fixed fees—while also functioning as an insurance broker. Its advisory services include financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, and pension consulting. The firm has affiliations across the financial services ecosystem: it is associated with broker‑dealer activity, operates as or with other investment advisers, and is listed as a sponsor/GP/managing member of pooled investment vehicles. That mix of roles suggests the firm can both advise on and participate in pooled structures in addition to running client portfolios.
