Haywood Wealth Management

Haywood Wealth Management is a two-advisor registered investment adviser that serves individuals and high-net-worth individuals with ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and discretionary participant account management for defined contribution plan accounts. The firm manages approximately $11.3 million for a small client base and offers written investment policy statements and quarterly reporting as part of its standard services.

The firm’s investment process is discretionary and built around documented Investment Policy Statements, with a stated emphasis on ETFs and long-term trading guided by fundamental analysis, modern portfolio theory, and quantitative methods. Accounts are reviewed at least annually (and more often for material changes), and Haywood uses a third‑party platform to manage held-away participant accounts while seeking to rebalance and manage internal fees on a quarterly basis.

Distinguishing features include periodic complimentary educational workshops or seminars offered to the public and attendees, and a material affiliation with insurance activities: a principal is a licensed insurance agent and the firm and its supervised persons receive commissions and other economic benefits from independent marketing organizations and insurance sales. The brochure discloses these compensation sources and related conflicts of interest, and describes procedures for documenting and disclosing such conflicts and for requiring clients to use specified custodians (Altruist and/or Charles Schwab Advisor Services).
