WPWealth
WPWealth manages over $1 billion for Texas families and businesses as a multi-family RIA founded in 2000.
WPWealth
WPWealth was founded in 2000 by Thomas Rein, then a partner at Whitley Penn LLP. The firm grew from that accounting practice into a registered investment advisor serving multiple families and businesses. WPWealth deploys capital through personalized portfolios built on diversification, global allocation, and cost control. Services span financial planning, insurance placement, estate distribution, and qualified retirement plans. The firm maintains a North American footprint centered on Texas clients. No specific public holdings or co-investors appear in available records. The firm reported $500 million in AUM by 2017 and crossed $1 billion after acquiring Dougherty Wealth Management in 2024. It operates from Fort Worth headquarters plus offices in Dallas, Plano, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Midland, and Odessa. Bill Weston participates in Leadership Fort Worth Class of 2024. Adjacent vehicles include the Whitley Penn Philanthropic Fund. WPWealth remains tied to its accounting-firm origin through ongoing coordination with tax professionals at Whitley Penn, creating an integrated service model uncommon among standalone RIAs.
