Overview
HB Wealth is a fee-only wealth-management firm whose current registered adviser is HB Wealth Management, LLC.
That legal identity matters because the business historically operated as Homrich & Berg.

HB Wealth Management, LLC is the current adviser
Current September 2026 brochure:
- Current adviser: HB Wealth Management, LLC
- Legacy business: Homrich & Berg, Inc.
- Legacy business is current adviser: No
The current adviser was created as part of a restructuring and now operates the continuing business.
as the current HB Wealth adviser registration.
---
The current public service ladder begins at $1 million
HB's current service-level page states:
- Family Guide: $1M-$2M investable assets
- Family CFO: $2M-$25M portfolio
- Family Office: $25M+ portfolio
These are public service-level references.
They should not be treated as an unwaivable legal account minimum.
The minimum annual fee is the stronger contractual economic guard.
---
Minimum annual fee is generally $12,500
Current September 2026 Part 2A:
- Minimum annual fee: $12,500
- Minimum fee can be negotiated below: Yes
The brochure states that wealth-management pricing depends primarily on:
- scope, complexity and frequency of services;
- investment capital placed under management.
The fee minimum can cause the effective rate to exceed the standard tier percentages for a smaller accepted relationship.
---
Current Financial Planning + Investment Management schedule has five tiers
Current September 2026 standard schedule:
- Financial Planning plus Investment Management:
- First 1m: 1.250%
- Next 4m: 1.000%

- Next 20m: 0.625%
- Over 30m: 0.500%
- Schedule progressive: Yes
- Fees negotiable: Yes

Fee math at $5 million
First $1 million:
$1,000,000 × 1.25% = $12,500
Next $4 million:
$4,000,000 × 1.00% = $40,000
Illustrative annual total:
$52,500
Average:
1.05%
This is an illustration of the standard schedule.
A negotiated or legacy agreement can differ.
---
Investment Management-only pricing is separate

- Next 1m: 1.000%

- Over 10m: 0.500%

Private-fund assets can remain in HB's advisory fee base
Current Part 2A states that assets invested in private funds can be included in assets under management for purposes of calculating HB's advisory fee.
HB also states its Investment Management Services fee includes the fee HB itself charges for investments in affiliated and unaffiliated private investment funds.
That does not mean underlying private funds have no expenses.
---
Private-market access is substantive
Current HB materials describe:
- private equity;
- private debt;
- real estate;
- natural resources;
- hedge funds;
- direct private investments;
- internally managed access vehicles.
Eligibility can depend on:
- accredited-investor status;
- qualified-client status;
- qualified-purchaser status.
---
HB advises affiliated investment vehicles
Current brochure identifies:
- HB Funds;
- Peachtree Alternative Strategies;
- HB Credit Opportunity Fund;
- other affiliated investment relationships.
HB's public private-market page states it does not charge investors an additional management or performance fee for its internally managed access vehicles.
Preserve that statement narrowly.

Primary custodians include Schwab, Fidelity and Pershing
Current September 2026 brochure:
- Custodian:
- Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
- Fidelity Investments
- BNY Mellon / Pershing
- HB physically custodies ordinary brokerage assets: No
The custodian holds the brokerage account while HB receives authority to effect transactions under the advisory agreement.
---
Custodian support can create conflicts
Institutional custodians can provide:
- trading infrastructure;
- research;
- technology;
- practice support;
- referral arrangements.
---
Current scale should remain dated
Current public site:
- Public assets: $32B+
- Public assets as of: 2026-06-30
- Employee: 340+
- Office: 12
- States served: 48
The September brochure reports regulatory AUM using a different date.
Assessment
HB Wealth's current pricing is unusually useful for a large adviser because the firm publishes both service levels and tiered schedules.
The most important current-state correction is legal identity.
The review should be about HB Wealth Management, LLC, not the old Homrich Berg registration.
The second guard is the current five-tier planning-plus-investment schedule.
Older material that ends the schedule at $10 million misses the current 0.625% $10M-$30M tier.
