Peak Wealth Management

Peak Wealth Management

Peak Wealth Management launched in 2015 in Nashua, New Hampshire, as a registered investment advisor by Lee Phipps. The firm emerged during a period when the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule was pushing more advisors toward independent, fee-only structures. Phipps structured the firm to serve individuals and high-net-worth clients through financial planning and discretionary portfolio management, operating under the fiduciary standard that defines the RIA channel. The firm's investment approach centers on model-driven portfolio construction and ongoing rebalancing for individual clients. Asset-class coverage includes domestic equities, fixed income, and ETF-based strategies, with allocations tailored to client risk profiles rather than institutional-style fund commitments. Peak Wealth Management does not participate in direct private investments, venture capital, or alternative assets commonly seen in family office structures. The firm's geographic footprint is concentrated in southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley, serving a local client base through its Nashua office. Peak Wealth Management operates as a lean advisory practice. While exact team size and assets under management are not publicly disclosed, the firm's regulatory filings as a state-registered RIA in New Hampshire confirm its footprint remains below the $100 million threshold that would trigger SEC registration. The firm maintains no additional offices or adjacent vehicles such as philanthropic foundations or real-asset arms. No named portfolio companies, institutional co-investors, or club-deal structures are part of its documented operating model. What distinguishes Peak Wealth Management from larger regional wealth managers is its posture as a local, owner-operated RIA. The firm's succession and governance structure remain tied to its founder, Lee Phipps, with no publicly announced partnership transitions or acquisition by an aggregator platform. This independence shapes its client relationships and investment committee decisions.
