About
David Wendell Associates provides fee-only investment supervisory and advisory services to a broad mix of clients, including individuals and high-net-worth families, trusts, retirement accounts, charitable organizations, businesses and banks, and it also delivers investment consulting to other advisors. Its advisory business includes ongoing portfolio management for individual accounts as well as consulting engagements (about 14.4% of 2025 revenue) for institutional clients such as bank trust departments, law firms, and other investment advisers.
The firm’s investment work concentrates on equities and bonds using a fundamental, company-by-company approach, categorizing issuers into seven growth buckets based on reinvestment rates and preparing written research reports to support recommendations. It supplements its equity process with a proprietary monthly statistical screen that produces Recommended Purchase and Supplemental Valuation lists and retains an external bond consultant (W.B. Smith & Company) to inform its fixed-income work.
Compared with many similarly sized teams, the firm manages a relatively large asset base for a small advisory staff — over $1.33 billion in AUM spread across five portfolio managers — and maintains recurring, structured engagement with bank trust clients (for example, providing ten annual portfolio reviews and ongoing telephone consultation to a community bank trust). The firm’s custody and operational disclosures also show arrangements that allow fee deductions from institutional custody accounts and the ability to accommodate borrowing within separately managed account structures when clients authorize it.

Advisors at this firm
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.
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
