About

Kelley Investments provides discretionary and non-discretionary wealth management, financial planning, and pension consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts and retirement plans. The firm manages roughly $238 million across about 216 client relationships and delivers ongoing portfolio management alongside standalone planning engagements.

Investment management is delivered through proprietary “Kelley Portfolio Strategies,” using equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds and cash equivalents to pursue long‑term, risk‑adjusted total return; the brochure describes a growth‑at‑a‑reasonable‑price (GARP) style, focused/concentrated portfolios, and a buy‑and‑hold orientation with moderate turnover. Client objectives and risk tolerances are gathered via in‑person or telephone interviews, accounts are reviewed regularly (monthly with annual formal reviews), and the firm may allocate heavily to a single asset class when deemed appropriate.

The brochure highlights several operational features that are less common among peers: the firm requires custody and execution through Fidelity Brokerage Services/National Financial Services and does not permit directed brokerage, concentrating custody and trade execution relationships. It also discloses that some firm representatives have roles with a certified public accountancy firm and that the firm provides insurance reviews and risk‑management services as part of its wealth management offerings, with related conflicts of interest disclosed.

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
