About

Navigate Wealth Management, LLC is an SEC-registered advisory firm managing approximately $429,568,664 for about 271 clients, primarily individuals and high-net-worth individuals. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, prepares individual Investment Policy Statements, offers financial planning through its dba Abeona Wealth, and can serve as a subadviser to other advisers.

Navigate’s investment process emphasizes modern portfolio theory and long‑term trading, using model portfolios and documented risk‑tolerance profiles to guide asset allocation and ongoing portfolio management. Accounts receive monthly custodian reports, at least quarterly written statements from the firm, and are reviewed at least annually (with additional reviews triggered by material events).

Noteworthy departures from many peers include explicit affiliations and multiple operating names — the brochure discloses an affiliated adviser (Navigate 401k) and that the firm will also operate under dba Stonebridge Advisors LLC — and the firm’s use of paid solicitor/referral arrangements and subadviser relationships. The brochure flags these referral and affiliation arrangements as potential sources of conflicts of interest, which prospective clients should consider when evaluating the firm.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
