A complete list of active advisors currently associated with J Ward Financial

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at J Ward Financial or one who fits your needs even better.

The firm provides discretionary investment management primarily for high-net-worth individuals, families, and trusts and generally requires a negotiated minimum account size. It manages roughly $15.8 million across about 21 client relationships and commonly charges asset-based fees, and may recommend or retain a third‑party adviser to manage portions of client portfolios. Investment decisions are built around asset-allocation strategies that consider clients’ age, health, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and long‑term goals, with regular reviews every one to three months. The firm typically retains discretion to implement trades, conducts due diligence on third‑party managers (it commonly utilizes FPAS and investment products from Dimensional), and relies on custodial and reporting platforms to support monitoring and client reporting. What distinguishes the firm from most solo independent advisers are its cross‑disciplinary affiliations: the principal operates an estate‑planning and elder‑law practice, holds a real‑estate broker license (not actively used for client transactions), and is affiliated with an insurance entity and a broker‑dealer in which he may receive customary commissions. Those non‑investment activities create potential conflicts of interest that the firm discloses in its brochure and addresses by informing clients they are under no obligation to use the firm’s other services.

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
