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

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
