About Altruist Wealth Management

Fiduciary Financial Planning and Investment Management

A Better Model for Modern Wealth Management

We set out with simple question:  Based on what we know about the financial services industry, what type of firm would we want our family to work with?

Our Financial Planning Team

Planning Expertise, Personalized Advice, Uncompromising Standards

With deep experience in investment, tax, and estate planning, we deliver tailored guidance with a flat fee to help you make confident, informed decisions.

Every plan is developed and managed directly by your lead wealth advisor. Just as larger firms rely on specialized teams for complex situations, we may collaborate—on a selective basis—with independent experts such as CFP® practitioners, JDs, or CPAs. These trusted professionals provide an added layer of insight and review, engaged only when their perspective meaningfully strengthens the outcome.

Why Fiduciary Advice and Flat Fees Matter

Many financial advisors aren’t required to act in your best interests at all times.

 

Most operate under a "suitability" standard—meaning they are only need to recommend investments that fit your general financial situation, not necessarily with a fiduciary obligation.

As fiduciaries, we’re held to a higher standard: putting your interests first in every decision we make.

Couple Sitting with Financial Advisor

Fees that are fair, not what investors can bare.

Advisor fees are often unclear—making it difficult to know what you’re truly paying.

Traditional fee structures typically charge a percentage of your assets, known as AUM fees, rather than a transparent, predictable flat fee. Over time, these percentage-based fees can erode long-term portfolio growth.
