About

Bridgewater Asset Management LLC provides discretionary asset management, financial planning, and pension consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, and employer retirement plans, managing roughly $350 million in regulatory assets. The firm also participates in multiple LPL-sponsored advisory programs and operates its own wrap-fee program in which it receives a portion of the wrap fee.

The firm emphasizes continuous, tailored portfolio supervision with both strategic and tactical asset-allocation models and may hold individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and options (including covered calls and spread strategies). Portfolios are reviewed at least quarterly and the firm applies a mix of fundamental, technical (including charting and cyclical) analysis to inform discretionary trading and rebalancing.

Distinctive features highlighted in the brochure include sponsorship of a wrap-fee program (a feature uncommon among peer team firms) and participation in several LPL program platforms, plus the fact that supervised persons are registered representatives of LPL and licensed to sell insurance—arrangements the firm discloses as potential conflicts and says it manages under its fiduciary policies. The brochure also notes the firm’s corporate structure as a holding-company subsidiary and discloses operational details such as advance billing for Schwab-custodied accounts and household minimums for asset-management services.

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
