About

D.A. Davidson & Co. provides investment advisory and brokerage services to a wide range of clients, including employer‑sponsored retirement plans, individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), charitable organizations, and corporate clients. Its offerings include ERISA retirement plan advisory (3(21) and 3(38) services), wrap fee programs and equity research, modular and comprehensive financial planning (On Course and Holistiplan reports), and a Davidson Private Wealth program for clients with more than $20 million in stated net worth.

The firm frames its advisory work under the Advisers Act fiduciary standard and, for retirement accounts, ERISA fiduciary duties, using both qualitative and quantitative analysis and third‑party tools to recommend and monitor investments. For plans it can provide non‑discretionary 3(21) advice or discretionary 3(38) selection and monitoring (including limited discretionary management of risk‑based model portfolios), and its planning process employs scenario analysis and Monte Carlo‑style projections to illustrate potential outcomes.

Several operational features distinguish D.A. Davidson from many large enterprise advisers: it serves as a municipal advisor and participates in municipal underwriting activities (noting a prior SEC MCDC matter related to municipal disclosure practices), an activity that is uncommon among peers. The firm also operates affiliated custodial entities (D.A. Davidson Trust Services and D.A. Davidson Trust Company) and acts as a qualified custodian for certain IRA and 403(b) assets, while providing a no‑additional‑cost Private Wealth planning program for clients with over $20 million in stated net worth.

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.
