About

Axient provides discretionary investment management, financial planning, ERISA consulting, and advisor-led consulting to a range of clients including retirement plans, trusts, corporations, and charitable organizations, and reports approximately $453,990,661 in discretionary assets under management as of March 9, 2026. Although the brochure lists individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals among possible client types, the filing emphasizes discretionary accounts, ERISA plan work, and relationships with third‑party managers and promoters.

The firm offers multiple delivery models — Advisor as Portfolio Manager, Axient Model Portfolios (ECWM Core 22 and ECWM Core 50 built largely with individual equity securities), and Axient Select Managers — so clients may be managed via proprietary models, custom securities portfolios, or third‑party money managers. Axient’s Investment Committee oversees its proprietary models and the firm describes both tactical and strategic allocation approaches, with client assets custodied at Pershing LLC and trade execution routed through StoneX/Pershing.

Noteworthy operational features include a requirement that advisory accounts use the firm’s approved custodian (Pershing) and a significant number of dually registered advisors who may offer commissionable brokerage and insurance products through StoneX and an affiliated insurance agency, with disclosed arrangements for promoter referrals and shared TPMM compensation. The firm is newly established (2025), reports only discretionary AUM in its filing, and discloses specific practices such as rebate of 12b‑1 fees, acceptance of standing letters of authorization, and monitoring policies to address conflicts between use of proprietary models and third‑party managers.
