About

Great Valley Advisor Group is an SEC‑registered, multi‑team investment adviser that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, trusts and other entities. The firm supports a large advisor network (roughly 190 advisors) and offers discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan consulting across wrap and non‑wrap programs.

GVA emphasizes individualized portfolio construction and ongoing oversight, using a mix of in‑house strategies and third‑party managers or sponsored platforms (including programs offered through LPL, Fidelity, Schwab, and SEI). The firm conducts initial and at least annual due diligence on third‑party advisers, provides model and fund‑based allocations as well as algorithmic/digital options (e.g., Guided Wealth Portfolios), and implements rebalancing and monitoring to align portfolios with client objectives.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include an independent contractor affiliation with Heike Law Offices, LLC to arrange legal services (estate documents, trusts, etc.), and that many GVA advisers are licensed insurance agents who spend an estimated 25–50% of their time selling insurance products—both arrangements are identified as potential conflicts and disclosed to clients. The brochure also notes a minority investment by LPL Capital Partners and an ongoing custody/clearing relationship with LPL, plus use of platforms such as Pontera and SEI, which the firm cites as operational and referral relationships clients should consider.

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
