About

Leigh Baldwin & Co., LLC provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and a range of institutional clients such as pension plans, foundations, and trusts. The firm also offers standalone planning and consulting engagements and makes third‑party advisory programs available to clients, including Fidelity’s FMAX platform and custodial/platform services through Altruist, as well as a branded systematic investment program called Dollar Investment Club.

The firm’s investment process blends fundamental and technical analysis, with a mix of long‑ and short‑term positions, occasional options strategies, and systematic ETF/mutual fund allocations; accounts are typically managed on a discretionary basis with regular reviews and the option to use third‑party managers or model portfolios. Leigh Baldwin & Co. also acts as an intermediary or solicitor for other registered investment advisers when clients are placed on outside advisory programs, and it integrates custodial platform tools into portfolio implementation and tax management where appropriate.

What distinguishes the firm from many team‑level peers is its dual registration as both an SEC‑registered RIA and a FINRA broker‑dealer, its use of multiple custodial relationships and model marketplaces, and its affiliation and referral arrangements with other RIAs and broker‑dealers—along with advisors who frequently hold dual registrations and insurance licenses. The brochure also discloses a prior FINRA disciplinary matter related to OATS reporting and notes that the firm operates from multiple offices, which are less common features among similarly sized team firms.

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
