NewEdge Wealth: Platform Profile

Overview

NewEdge Wealth is an SEC-registered RIA serving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, families, family offices and related entities.

Current regulatory identity:

• Investment adviser: NewEdge Wealth, LLC
• CRD: 307771
• SEC number: 801-118291
• Current firm brochure: March 2026
• Current wrap brochure: March 2026

The current fee disclosure is deliberately relationship-specific.

NewEdge can charge:

• fixed annual fees;
• flat asset-based fees;
• tiered asset-based fees.

May fit better for

• high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth households;
• families seeking advanced wealth strategy and family-office capabilities;
• clients who want access to private markets, structured strategies and outside managers;
• investors comfortable with negotiated pricing;
• clients who value a broad investment menu and consolidated reporting;
• qualified clients evaluating direct investments or performance-fee alternatives;
• households that need a mix of advisory and affiliated brokerage capabilities.

May fit less well for

• investors who want a simple public fee calculator before speaking with an adviser;
• small portfolios seeking low-cost automated management;
• clients who want no affiliated brokerage relationship;
• investors who want no proprietary investment strategies;
• clients uncomfortable with manager fees layered on top of advisory fees;
• investors who cannot tolerate limited liquidity or performance-based compensation in selected alternatives.

NewEdge does not publish one current universal AUM rate

Current March 2026 firm brochure:

• Advisory fee modes:
• fixed annual fee
• flat asset-based fee
• tiered asset-based fee

Pricing varies based on:

• type and market value of assets;
• engagement complexity;
• scope of services;
• related accounts;
• competition;
• negotiation;
• legacy relationships.

Similarly situated clients can pay different fees.

---

A minimum annual fee can appear in the client Service Summary

Current brochure:

• Minimum annual fee possible: Yes

This is relationship-specific.

---

There is no published firmwide account-value minimum

Current public/industry summaries state NewEdge does not have a universal minimum account value, while certain independent managers and private funds can have their own minimums.

That distinction matters for an ultra-high-net-worth brand: target-client positioning is not the same as a legally fixed account-opening threshold.

---

Wrap and unbundled pricing create different cost structures

NewEdge offers wrap-fee arrangements as well as non-wrap/unbundled structures.

A wrap fee can bundle specified brokerage/trading/custody and manager costs according to the applicable program.

An unbundled arrangement can leave those costs separate.

---

Independent managers can add 0.10%-1.50%

Current March 2026 wrap brochure:

• Independent manager fee range: 0.10%-1.50% AUM
• Independent manager fee additional to NewEdge advisory fee: Yes

These fees are separate and distinct from the NewEdge advisory fee in applicable SMA relationships.

---

NewEdge Investment Solutions can create a proprietary-product conflict

Current wrap brochure lists NewEdge Investment Solutions manager fees for specified strategies, including current references such as:

• NEIS equity strategy fee: 0.25%
• NEIS fixed income strategy fee: 0.10%
• NEIS municipal bond strategy fee: 0.10%
• NEIS structured note strategy fee: 0.50%
• NEIS OCIO multi asset strategy fee: 0.15%

The brochure explicitly states that recommending proprietary investment portfolios creates a conflict because NewEdge earns more when assets are allocated to NEIS portfolios versus third-party managers.

---

Performance-based fees are possible in limited alternative-investment circumstances

Current March 2026 Item 6 states NewEdge and certain private wealth advisers can accept performance-based fees in limited circumstances, including selected direct investments, private funds, co-investments or other alternatives for qualifying clients.

---

NewEdge has an affiliated broker-dealer

Current regulatory disclosure:

• Affiliated broker dealer: NewEdge Securities, LLC
• Affiliated broker dealer FINRA SIPC member: Yes

Some supervised persons can act as registered representatives in separate brokerage relationships and can receive brokerage-related compensation where disclosed.

---

Client-assets-serviced figures are broader than RIA AUM

NewEdge marketing uses client assets serviced metrics that can include:

• assets under investment-advisory services;
• brokerage assets through the affiliate;
• assets at other broker-dealers receiving supervisory/support/wealth-strategy services.

---

Custody is external and can include Fidelity/NFS and Schwab

Current firm data disclosures show:

• Custodian:
• National Financial Services / Fidelity
• Charles Schwab

Account structure, broker affiliation, investment manager and program selection can affect custody.

Assessment

NewEdge is a poor candidate for a single headline fee percentage.

The current review should preserve four distinct cost questions:

1. the client's negotiated NewEdge advisory fee;
2. any minimum annual fee in the Service Summary;
3. independent or proprietary manager fees;
4. alternative-investment performance compensation where applicable.

The affiliated broker-dealer and proprietary NEIS strategies add conflict disclosures without proving that any particular recommendation is inappropriate.
