About
Ferguson Wellman provides personalized investment and wealth management to individuals and families (including high‑net‑worth and ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients) as well as institutional clients such as endowments, foundations and retirement plans. The firm specializes in customized, separately managed portfolios and offers wealth planning services that cover retirement planning, trusts and estates, philanthropic strategies and related financial planning needs.
Investment management is discretionary and active across equities, fixed income and alternatives, driven by a centralized investment policy committee that meets regularly and employs both top‑down macro positioning and bottom‑up security selection (including a 16‑factor quantitative screen for large‑cap names). The firm offers tax‑aware variants of its equity strategies and a Global Sustainable Investing product that applies a positive ESG overlay, and it will use mutual funds, ETFs or outside managers where client circumstances or legacy positions warrant.
Distinctive aspects include a large asset base (over $10 billion) managed by a relatively small advisory team and minimums that emphasize separately managed relationships, along with a family‑office style division (Octavia Group) for wealthy clients that supplements core services. Ferguson Wellman is a fee‑only adviser that primarily charges percentage‑of‑AUM management fees rather than broad fixed‑fee portfolio arrangements (while Octavia Group’s additional services are separately billed under fixed fees), and it maintains legacy fee schedules for some acquired clients.

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
