Frequently asked questions
How does Prentice Wealth Management charge for its services?
Prentice operates as an independent fiduciary, positioning itself free from corporate pressures and proprietary products. The firm's website does not publish a fee schedule, but its fiduciary structure implies a fee-only or fee-based model common among RIAs that do not collect commissions on product sales. Prospective clients are encouraged to discuss fees during the initial 'cup of coffee' conversation, which the firm frames as a no-commitment meeting.
Does the firm participate in fund commitments, direct deals, or alternative investments?
Available public materials describe a planning-led portfolio construction process — personalized investment strategies aligned to each client's goals — but do not mention commitments to third-party funds, direct private investments, or alternative asset programs. The absence of such detail, combined with the firm's focus on multigenerational planning, tax optimization, and legacy strategies, suggests the investment implementation relies on publicly traded securities and model portfolios rather than institutional-grade closed-end fund access.
Who runs investment decisions at Prentice Wealth Management?
Prentice does not publicly name its individual portfolio managers or investment committee members. The firm's website describes a team-based approach where a dedicated group of advisors works with each client household, implying that investment decisions are made collaboratively at the advisor level under the firm's fiduciary framework rather than by a single named CIO. Specific leadership names were not found in the sources reviewed.
Is Prentice Wealth Management a single-family office or does it serve multiple families?
Prentice serves multiple client segments — growing families, pre-retirees and retirees, multigenerational planners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits — making it a multi-client RIA rather than a single-family office. The firm's fiduciary planning model and long client tenures (some over 25 years) create a multi-family-office-like service experience, but it does not market itself as an MFO and lacks certain typical MFO attributes, such as a shared private-investment platform or family-governance consulting.
How does the firm separate its nonprofit and endowment advisory work from its private-client business?
Prentice lists nonprofits, endowments, and foundations as a distinct client segment within its single advisory practice. The firm describes managing investment portfolios, establishing spending policies, and balancing growth objectives with current needs for these institutional clients — all delivered through the same team-based fiduciary structure that serves its private clients, rather than through a legally separate entity or dedicated institutional division.
