Overview
Wealthspire Advisors is an SEC-registered adviser providing wealth management, investment advice and financial consulting to individuals, families, institutions and organizations.
The current April 30, 2026 brochure is especially important because it reflects:
- 2025 mergers;
- merged affiliated RIAs;
- updated AUM;
- expanded fee disclosure;
- new legacy-wrap disclosure;
- private-fund affiliations.
Current legal identity:
- Investment adviser: Wealthspire Advisors LLC
- CRD: 106181
- SEC number: 801-49390
The current fee model is intentionally flexible rather than one standardized retail table.
For ordinary wealth-management relationships:
Wealthspire can use:
- percentage-of-AUM fees;
- minimum fees;
- fixed annual dollar fees;
- legacy/acquired schedules;
- program-specific pricing.
May fit better for
- clients seeking integrated planning and portfolio management;
- high-net-worth families;
- clients wanting access to separate-account managers;
- investors comfortable with negotiated pricing;
- families needing reporting across held-away and illiquid assets;
- eligible clients considering private funds;
- families seeking expanded family-office capabilities.
May fit less well for
- investors who want a single standardized percentage before speaking with an adviser;
- users seeking a low-cost automated-only robo;
- clients who assume separate-account manager fees are included;
- investors who need daily liquidity from all investments;
- clients who interpret a 1.20% reference as a universal hard cap.

Wealthspire Advisors LLC is the current adviser
Current April 30, 2026 Part 2A:
- Investment adviser: Wealthspire Advisors LLC
- CRD: 106181
- Brochure date: 2026-04-30
The brochure describes integration of acquired and affiliated businesses.
---
There is no firmwide account minimum
Current relationship disclosures state:
Wealthspire recommends different service offerings based on investable assets.
That is not the same as a universal account-opening threshold.
Program-specific minimums can still apply.
---
New flat-percentage arrangements generally do not exceed 1.20%
Current April 2026 brochure:
- New client flat percentage general: generally not more than 1.20% annually
This is one pricing lane.
It is not a universal cap because:
- minimum-fee arrangements can produce an effective fee above 1.20%;
- Prosperity can charge up to 1.25%;
- acquired/legacy relationships can have different schedules;
- other negotiated structures exist.
---
Minimum fees can push the effective rate above 1.20%
Current brochure states that if a minimum fee applies to an account whose ordinary AUM-based calculation would fall below the minimum, the effective percentage can exceed 1.20%.
Wealthspire maximum = 1.20%.
---
Fixed annual arrangements generally have a $5,000 minimum
Current brochure:
- Fixed annual fee possible: Yes
- Fixed annual fee general minimum: $5,000
The actual fixed fee depends on:
- service level;
- scope;
- complexity;
- professional;
- engagement.
---
Prosperity is a separate service lane
Current Prosperity pricing:
- Prosperity fee: up to 1.25%
- Prosperity minimum: $100,000
- Prosperity minimum waivable: Yes
This is not Wealthspire's firmwide minimum or universal fee.
Keep it program-specific.
---
Separate-account managers can add 0.10%-0.85%
Current brochure:
- Separate Account Manager fee range: 0.10%-0.85%
- SAM fee additional to Wealthspire fee: Yes
Assets managed by a separate-account manager can remain included in the Wealthspire advisory-fee calculation while the separate manager deducts its own fee.
---
Wealthspire generally does not charge performance-based fees
Current disclosure:
- Performance based fee by Wealthspire: No
The current brochure contains a narrow acquired-manager/private-fund performance-compensation disclosure involving historical or frozen relationships.
---
Private funds can remain in the advisory fee base
Wealthspire can recommend privately offered investment funds.
Private-fund costs can be additional.
Liquidity can be limited.
---
Current custody relationships include Schwab, Fidelity and Pershing
Current April 2026 brochure:
- Custodian:
- Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
- Fidelity Brokerage Services
- Pershing Advisor Solutions
The custodian holds securities and processes trades.
Wealthspire manages or advises.
---
Custodian economics create a conflict
Institutional custody relationships can provide:
- technology;
- trading access;
- service resources;
- institutional support.
Current disclosures also use aggregate asset thresholds in determining certain service economics.
---
Family Office expanded in 2026
Wealthspire launched an enhanced Family Office platform in March 2026.
Services can combine:
- investment management;
- planning;
- tax planning;
- trust coordination;
- financial operations;
- multigenerational family support.
Assessment
Wealthspire's current fee story is not one table.
The most useful facts are:
- no firmwide relationship minimum;
- negotiated AUM/minimum/fixed-fee structures;
- new flat-rate arrangements generally no higher than 1.20%;
- minimum-fee arrangements can produce an effective rate above 1.20%;
- Prosperity can charge up to 1.25%;
- separate-account managers commonly add 0.10%-0.85%.
That makes the actual written agreement essential.
