About

Bridgewater Advisory Group LLC provides discretionary wealth management and portfolio management to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and estates, and also offers standalone and integrated financial planning and consulting. Portfolios are typically constructed from diversified mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds, and the firm may implement portions of strategies through a sub-advisory relationship with an independent manager.

The firm relies primarily on fundamental analysis and a long-term asset allocation approach, building portfolios to match each client’s stated objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon while conducting ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing. Bridgewater works with third‑party managers for certain mandates, uses a qualified custodian for custody and execution, and can provide planning engagements that precede or accompany investment management.

A notable characteristic is that the advisory firm is affiliated with a separate tax and accounting practice under common ownership, a relationship the firm discloses and treats as optional for clients; principals also disclose other business interests such as a minor bank stake and real‑estate partnerships but do not offer those investments to clients. The firm operates as a small, two‑advisor practice with combined accounting and financial‑planning expertise (including CPA and CFP/ChFC credentials), which the brochure identifies as a potential source of integrated tax and planning coordination and as a disclosed conflict of interest when tax services are recommended.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
