About

Ashford Investment Advisors provides discretionary portfolio management and pension consulting to individuals, retirement and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, and other organizations. Services include tailored asset‑allocation and written investment policy statements, plus participant education and workshops for plan participants under ERISA guidelines.

The firm uses both fundamental and technical analysis to construct portfolios that include equities, ETFs, mutual funds, fixed income, and cash equivalents, with ongoing monitoring and rebalancing. It may recommend third‑party registered sub‑advisers and employs strategies listed in its brochure—including long‑ and short‑term trades, short sales, covered options, and inverse funds that use derivatives and leverage—which can result in borrowing or derivative exposure in separately managed accounts.

Organized as Walsh Consulting Group, Inc. dba Ashford and owned through a holding company, the firm incorporates third‑party sub‑adviser arrangements into its management model. Compared with similarly sized supported advisers, Ashford is distinctive for combining formal pension plan services and participant education with the use of short‑selling, options, and derivative‑linked strategies in client accounts.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
