Philosophy

A higher standard of counsel.

In an industry crowded with product, performance theatre, and conflicted advice, the simplest things have become rare: the willingness to sit across from a family, understand what their wealth is for, and manage it accordingly.

We built Wolfson Private Wealth to do exactly that. One firm. One fiduciary standard. One principal responsible for every relationship. No proprietary products to push, no sales quotas to meet, no divided loyalties — only a single, durable obligation to the families we serve.

This is what private wealth should feel like: an advisor who knows your name, knows your objectives, and accounts for every basis point in plain English. Quiet work, done well, over decades.

Our Clients

Families who take wealth seriously.

Our practice is intentionally narrow. We serve a small number of successful households — with particular depth in Florida tax and residency planning — where complexity, discretion, and continuity matter more than marketing and noise.

I

Business Owners

Founders and operators preparing for — or navigating — a liquidity event, with planning needs that extend well beyond the balance sheet.

II

Senior Executives

C-suite and partner-level professionals with concentrated equity, deferred compensation, and the tax complexity that accompanies success.

III

Professionals

Physicians, attorneys, and established professionals seeking disciplined planning and protection for households they've worked a career to build.

IV

Multi-Gen Families

Households thinking in generations — coordinating portfolios, entities, and estate plans so that wealth and values pass intact to those who inherit them.

Services

Two disciplines. Seamlessly integrated.

Investment management without financial planning is guesswork. Financial planning without investment management is advice without accountability. Wolfson Private Wealth delivers both — from the same principal.

— I —

Investment Management

Portfolios constructed for the life they must fund — not for peer-group benchmarks or industry narratives. Tax-aware, globally diversified, and built to withstand the conditions we cannot forecast.

  • Custom portfolio architecture
  • Tax-loss harvesting & asset location
  • Concentrated position strategy
  • Alternative investments access
  • Disciplined rebalancing protocols
  • Quarterly reporting & review
— II —

Financial Planning

A living plan, not a bound document. We map what your wealth must accomplish, stress-test it against reality, and update it as circumstances evolve. Every recommendation is accountable to the plan.

  • Retirement & cash-flow architecture
  • Advanced tax planning strategies
  • Estate, trust & legacy coordination
  • Insurance & risk framework review
  • Business succession & exit planning
  • Philanthropic & legacy counsel
The Distinction

How private wealth differs from the alternatives.

The language used in this industry obscures significant differences. Here is how an independent, fee-only fiduciary practice compares with the two firms most of your peers already work with.

Comparison reflects typical structural differences between business models and is presented for education only. It is a general illustration, not a comparison to any actual firm, and has material limitations: it does not address differences in services, performance, or costs in individual cases, and lower cost or a fiduciary standard does not guarantee better outcomes.

Fee Schedule

Plainly stated.

Our annual fee for portfolio management services ranges between 0.50% and 1.00% of assets under management, depending upon the market value of your assets under our management, the type and complexity of the asset management services provided, and the level of administration requested. Fees are billed quarterly in arrears based on the average daily balance and are deducted directly from your account by the qualified custodian. No commissions. No trails. No revenue sharing.

Complete fee information, including financial planning and consulting fees, is set forth in our Form ADV Part 2A and in each client’s executed advisory agreement. Advisory fees are negotiable depending on individual client circumstances.

The Founder

One principal. One standard.

Zachary Wolfson Managing Partner

Zachary Wolfson

Zachary Wolfson is the founder and Managing Partner of Wolfson Private Wealth. He established the firm in 2021 with a singular conviction: that the families who work hardest to build significant wealth deserve an advisor whose compensation, loyalties, and daily practice are structured entirely around their interests.

Before founding the firm, Zachary built his practice inside the traditional financial services industry. He left to remove the conflicts that come with it — the proprietary products, the revenue-sharing arrangements, the sales culture. In their place, Wolfson Private Wealth was built from a blank sheet around one principle: fee-only, fiduciary, and personal.

He lives in South Florida with his family. When he is not in client meetings, he is on the water, at the gym, or reading something old.

Questions

Direct answers.

If a question isn't addressed here, it belongs in our first conversation. We prefer candor in both directions.

Is there a minimum relationship size?
Our published minimum is $1,000,000 in investable assets. Exceptions are considered for households with meaningful complexity or clear trajectory. We would rather have the conversation than decline at the door.
How exactly are you compensated?
By a fee, paid by you, based on the assets under management. That is the entire economic arrangement. We receive no commissions, no referral fees, no revenue sharing, no product incentives of any kind.
Where is my money actually held?
All client assets are custodied at Interactive Brokers LLC, a qualified third-party custodian. You receive statements and trade confirmations directly from them, independently of us. We place trades and manage your account under a limited power of attorney — we never take physical custody of your funds.
How is Wolfson Private Wealth different from a wirehouse?
We are independent, fee-only, and fiduciary at all times. Wirehouses operate under a hybrid broker-dealer model, with sales quotas, proprietary product incentives, and — often — a lower legal standard of care. The comparison table above summarizes the structural differences.
Will I speak with the principal or a junior advisor?
You speak with Zachary directly. The firm is intentionally built so that the principal is the relationship, not a face on a pitchbook. If that ever changes, every client will be informed in writing long before it does.
What happens in the first conversation?
We listen. We answer your questions. We ask ours. There is no pitch, no hard close, and no paperwork. At the end, both sides decide independently whether a second meeting makes sense.
Is financial planning an additional cost?
Financial planning and consulting services are billed at an hourly rate of $500, which is negotiable depending on the scope and complexity of the engagement, as disclosed in our Form ADV Part 2A. We do not sell planning as a loss leader for products.
How responsive are you during market stress?
Very. The periods that matter most are precisely the ones in which clients need direct access to their advisor. Our communication cadence tightens — not loosens — during turbulence.
