The short answer: is NewEdge Wealth a fiduciary?

Yes. NewEdge Wealth is a fiduciary when it acts as your investment adviser, and with $19.9 billion in client assets it is among the larger SEC-registered investment advisers. Publicly, it files with the SEC as Newedge Wealth (CRD #307771). As of its latest Form ADV (filed April 23, 2026), the firm reported $19.9 billion in regulatory assets under management (a firm-reported figure). Its Form ADV (Item 5.E) lists how it is paid: a percentage of assets under management, fixed fees, commissions, and performance-based fees. All of it sits on the public record, and confirming it for yourself takes only a few minutes.

Its Form ADV also reports that a related person is a broker-dealer (Item 7.A), and brokerage accounts fall under Regulation Best Interest instead. Ask which capacity covers each of your accounts. The firm must tell you. Get started with Truthifi

What "fiduciary" means: a fiduciary is legally bound to place a client's interests above its own. (More on fiduciary duty)

NewEdge Wealth fees: what you'll pay

NewEdge Wealth is fee-based. According to its Form ADV (2026), Item 5.E, it is paid through a percentage of assets under management, fixed fees, commissions, and performance-based fees. Fee-based is a common model. It means cost can arrive from more than one place: advisory fees on one side, commissions on products on the other. (How fee-only advisors differ)

Our recommendation: before you sign, or at your next review, ask your NewEdge Wealth advisor to state in writing which of your accounts are advisory and which are brokerage, and what each one costs in total. A single number per account makes the fee-based mix much easier to judge. (Are you paying too much? Why that might be the wrong question)

Who owns NewEdge Wealth, and what conflicts does it disclose?

According to Schedule A of its Form ADV (2026), NewEdge Wealth is owned by Newedge Capital Group, LLC. (Form ADV Schedule A)

Its Form ADV Part 2A describes the firm's conflicts of interest, including how it and its advisers are paid.

NewEdge Wealth SEC record: disclosures

According to its Form ADV, NewEdge Wealth answers No to the firm-level disciplinary-history questions. You can confirm that on the public record. Individual advisers can have their own records, so look them up on IAPD and FINRA BrokerCheck too.

On the record, it has been registered with the SEC since March 25, 2020, makes notice filings in 53 jurisdictions (IAPD), and reports 211 employees, 99 of them in investment advisory roles. If you're asking "is NewEdge Wealth legit?", start with registration: a public CRD and filings anyone can pull. That confirms it's a real, regulated adviser. Whether it's right for you is a separate question.

Reading NewEdge Wealth reviews against the public record

Star ratings and client comments describe what working with a firm felt like. They usually don't show what the firm reports to regulators. Before you weigh NewEdge Wealth reviews, check three things this profile takes from the public record. First, how the firm is paid: it reports both advisory fees and commissions, which makes it fee-based. Second, who owns it and what conflicts it discloses. Third, whether its Form ADV reports any disciplinary history. Read reviews alongside the record, not instead of it.

How to verify NewEdge Wealth yourself

Here's how to confirm all of it in three steps:

  1. Check the SEC adviser record (IAPD): https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/307771.
  2. Read the filings (Form ADV / Form CRS): linked from the IAPD page.
  3. Confirm the entity: match NewEdge Wealth (CRD #307771, legal name NEWEDGE WEALTH, LLC) so you're reading the right firm.

To compare it with other firms checked the same way, browse the Truthifi /advisors hub.

What NewEdge Wealth does and who it serves

On its Form ADV, NewEdge Wealth reports providing financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, portfolio management (pooled vehicles), portfolio management for businesses and institutions, pension consulting, selection of other advisers, and educational seminars.

It reports providing financial planning to 26 to 50 clients in its last fiscal year (Form ADV Item 5.H), a count the form keeps separate from the client totals below.

Its Form ADV (Item 5.D) breaks its clients down by type, at least 3,693 in all:

Client typeClientsAssets managed
Individuals2,064$1.20 billion
High-net-worth individuals1,557$17.64 billion
Pension and profit-sharing plans10$170.9 million
Charities23$368.4 million
Insurance companiesFewer than 5$1.8 million
Corporations or other businesses38$544.3 million

It reports 19,593 client accounts, more than the at least 3,693 clients counted above (many clients hold more than one account), 17,527 discretionary (the firm can trade without seeking your approval first) and 2,066 non-discretionary (Item 5.F). Its main office is in Stamford, CT.

Set those figures side by side and a shape appears that no single line of the filing states. High-net-worth individuals are about 42% of the clients in the table but hold roughly 89% of the assets in it ($17.64 billion). The firm also averages around five accounts per client, and about 89% of those accounts are discretionary. For a typical client, that likely means holdings and fees spread over several statements, with most trades made without a per-trade sign-off. That combination is why a periodic look at your whole picture can matter more than any one statement.

It reports that it or a related person has custody of certain client assets, which brings extra safeguards such as surprise examinations. The specifics are in its Form ADV.

The hard part isn't checking the firm. It's seeing your whole financial life.

Confirming NewEdge Wealth is registered takes a few minutes. Seeing everything you own in one place is a different job. An old IRA, a spouse's portfolio and fees buried below a standard statement often sit outside any single firm's view. This is where Truthifi comes in.

One last point to weigh: every figure here is a snapshot of the Form ADV filed April 23, 2026. The next filing could shift the client mix, the fee list or the disclosure answers, so pulling up the IAPD page again before each annual review with your advisor turns this profile from a one-time check into a habit.
