Integrated Wealth Management, also known as Integrated Wealth Advisors, is a financial advisory firm based Wilmington, Delaware. The firm is on the small side, with just a couple of financial advisors on staff and around $100 million in assets under management. It serves both non-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals, providing wealth and investment management services to these investors and their families. Though the firm’s current client roster includes only one non-individual client: a single retirement plan.
Integrated Wealth Management Background
Integrated Wealth has been in business since 2004. It is wholly owned by Integrated Wealth Management, LLC, which is wholly owned by Burwell L. Hutchinson III, who is the firm’s managing member, founder and lead wealth advisor.
Hutchison originally founded his own independent advisory firm, BLH Financial Services, in 2004. That firm eventually merged with Ted Fischer to form Fischer and Hutchinson Wealth Advisors. Fischer retired in 2011. In 2013, Fischer and Hutchinson, LLC, united with Pratt Wasko, LLC, to form Integrated Wealth Management.

Additionally, Integrated Wealth Management is capable of serving pension plans, profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities.
