What We Do

Biltmore Wealth Management, LLC was founded in 2010 with the vision of helping our clients protect and simplify their financial futures. Our purpose is to support our clients and their families by offering guidance that creates personal fulfillment and financial security.

Services

From the initial consultation forward, our team will work closely with you to create and implement a wealth management plan that is unique, straightforward and customized to help you reach your financial goals. We ask
questions that allow us to define your current needs and wants, assess your attitude towards risk, and identify realistic goals. Your financial plan is then constructed in a manner that allows for changes over time and has the flexibility to adapt and grow with you.

Approach

The foundation of our investment approach is based on the Value Investing Theory. Our process is designed to identify equities that are relatively inexpensive and undervalued given a company’s long-term fundamentals. The identification of these equities allows us to select an asset allocation to best leverage future market movements through a variety of valuation measurements, including long-term profitability. Drilling down, our process allows us to measure value within the market while managing value within specific market sectors.

Through our reliable and proven investment approach, an ideal blend of asset classes is incorporated into each portfolio model to help clients reach their goals and objectives. Our portfolios are actively managed and reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Commitment

Through open communication and a family office environment, we support our clients’ desire to meet or exceed their financial and personal goals. We believe in delivering high-touch, individually tailored client service that provides a sense of comfort, advances knowledge, and offers unbiased advisement that puts clients in the best possible position for success now and in the future.

Committed to Helping You

How We’re Different

The distinguishing factor of the Biltmore process is our high-touch, selective approach to the client/advisor relationship. We believe in a measured, goal-based investment process rather than a market-driven wealth management strategy. As a boutique Registered Investment Advisory firm, we maintain the independence to tailor our proprietary portfolio models to meet our clients’ individual goals and objectives.

Accountability & Attention

As an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) our firm is entrusted with a fiduciary responsibility to each of our clients – we must act solely in their best interests. By design, we serve far fewer clients than many other firms which allows us to focus on what matters – you.

Advisor-Owned Firm

Biltmore Wealth Management is a 100% advisor-owned firm. This allows us to provide clear, unbiased information to clients while also giving them direct access to the firm’s decision-makers.

Greater Independence

We are not part of a brokerage firm with in-house products and services to sell. This allows us to offer a significant array of products, tools, and services to clients that put them on a financial pathway that will best meet their needs.

Our Interests Aligned with Yours

Our compensation is based on a percentage of assets under management (fee-only), so our success is directly linked to that of our clients.

Experience & Qualifications

Backed by a combined 50+ years of industry experience, the professionals at Biltmore Wealth Management bring a unique level of knowledge to every client relationship.

    Biltmore Wealth Management, LLC
    Form CRS –Client Relationship Summary February 2022

    Introduction

    Our firm, Biltmore Wealth Management, LLC, is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We feel that it is important for you to understand how advisory and brokerage services and fees differ in order to determine which type of account is right for you. There are free and simple tools available to research firms and financial professionals at www.investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about investment advisers, broker-dealers, and investing.

    What investment services and advice can you provide me?

    We are a registered investment adviser that offers investment advisory services to retail investors.Our advisory services includeInvestmentManagement.If you open an advisory account with our firm, we’ll meet with you to understand your current financial situation, existing resources, goals, and risk tolerance. Based on what we learn, we’ll recommend a portfolio of investments that is monitored at least quarterly, and if necessary, rebalanced to meet your changing needs, stated goals and objectives. We’ll offer you advice on a regular basis and contact you at least annually to discuss your portfolio.

    Our agreement designates that we are allowed to buy and sell investments in your account without asking you in advance (“discretion”). Certain legacy clients have agreements in place that allows us only to buy and sell investments in your account after receiving your permission (“non-discretion”), however, we longer open new client accounts on a non-discretionary basis. If you have anon-discretionary relationship with our firm, you make the ultimate decision regarding the purchase or sale of investments. Any limitations will be described in the signed advisory agreement. We will have discretion or non-discretion until the advisory agreement is terminated by you or our firm.

    We do not restrict our advice to limited types of products or investments.

    Our firm does not impose requirements for opening and maintaining accounts or otherwise engaging us.

    Additional information about our advisory services is located in Item 4 of our Firm Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/151365

    What fees will I pay?

    You will be charged an ongoing quarterly fee based on the value of the investments in your account. Our Investment Management service fee schedule ranges from 0.80% to 1.35% depending on the value of the investments in your account. The more assets you have in your advisory account, the more you will pay us. We therefore have an incentive to increase the assets in your advisory account in order to increase our fees. The amount you pay will depend, for example, on the services you receive and the amount of assets in your account. Our firm’s fees will be automatically deducted from your advisory account, which will reduce the value of your advisory account.

    The broker-dealer that holds your assets may charge you a transaction fee depending on the security type when we buy or sell an investment for you. The broker-dealer’s transaction fees are in addition to our firm’s fees for our Investment Management service.

    You may also pay charges imposed by the broker-dealer holding your accounts for certain investments and maintaining your account. Some investments, such as mutual funds, index funds, and exchange traded funds charge additional fees that will reduce the value of your investments over time.

    You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

    Additional information about our fees is located in Item 5 of our Firm Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/151365.

    What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?

    When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means:

    Our firm’s financial professionals include licensed insurance agents who sell insurance products for a commission. They have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you in order to increase their compensation.

    Additional information about our conflicts of interest is located in Item 10 of our Firm Brochure, which is available online at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/151365.

    How do your financial professionals make money?

    Our financial professionals are compensated based on the revenue our firm earns from their advisory services or recommendations, the amount of client assets they service, and the time and complexity required to meet a client’s needs.

    Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?

    No, our firm and financial professionals do not have any legal and disciplinary history to disclose. Visit Investor.gov/CRS for a free and simple search tool to research our firm and our financial professionals.
