About
Ridgewood Investments provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting to individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as trusts, foundations, and other entities. The firm offers model portfolios (including a dividend‑growth model) and a tiered service structure, and generally charges asset‑based advisory fees consistent with common team‑firm practices.
The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental research, proprietary model construction, and a patient, long‑term orientation with periodic investment‑committee reviews; clients are encouraged to adopt multi‑year horizons for many strategies. Operationally, Ridgewood uses third‑party technology to manage held‑away retirement plan assets and employs cloud‑based and AI‑powered tools for administrative functions, while investment decisions are made by its investment professionals.
Ridgewood is notable among peers for sponsoring and managing multiple private pooled investment vehicles across a range of strategies — including real estate, dividend‑growth, small‑cap value, and crypto‑focused series — and for acting as a private fund adviser and sponsor, a capability that is uncommon for firms of this size. Those private vehicles may be available only to accredited or qualified investors and can involve performance‑based compensation, use of leverage, and side‑by‑side management, and the firm discloses these arrangements, conducts suitability reviews, and provides audited financials to address the attendant conflicts of interest.

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.
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
