About

Burton Enright Welch works with individuals, families, trusts and estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities, delivering investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan (401(k)) consulting as described in its Form ADV. The brochure states the firm manages diversified portfolios that may include mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks and bonds, options and other public and private securities, and reports total AUM of roughly $1.55 billion across about 612 client relationships.

The firm describes a documented, four‑step disciplined process—target allocation, active asset allocation, a mix of active and passive managers, and ongoing monitoring—and typically memorializes client goals in an Investment Policy Statement with at least quarterly portfolio reviews. Burton Enright Welch discloses it acts as a fiduciary, uses third‑party research alongside fundamental analysis, and implements strategies either directly or through third‑party platforms while recommending custody at Charles Schwab.

Noteworthy disclosures in the brochure include the firm’s use of client testimonials in advertising and its single‑office model managing over $1.5 billion, which is less common for firms of comparable scale. The brochure also highlights that certain principals maintain insurance licenses to service legacy policies without commission, and it discloses referral arrangements and receipt of custodial/support services from Schwab—matters the firm notes can create potential conflicts of interest.

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
