About

The DDK Group is a team within Robert W. Baird & Co.’s Private Wealth Management department that serves individuals (including high net worth clients), corporate and business clients, pensions and profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations. The firm’s March 2026 Brochure describes a range of services including financial planning and consulting, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, separately managed account programs (DDK Recommended Managers, Baird SMA Network, Dual Contract), wrap programs, and custody and brokerage services.

Baird’s advisory work is delivered through a mix of manager‑traded and model‑traded SMA strategies, overlay management, tax‑management and direct‑indexing capabilities, and unified fee arrangements that separate advice and portfolio fees. The Brochure describes ongoing manager selection and monitoring by home‑office investment professionals, and notes the use of internal research and tools — including disclosures about the use of artificial intelligence — in formulating client advice.

Compared with many large peers, Baird highlights a number of distinctive features: it reported approximately $394 billion in regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2025 and its Brochure discloses recent strategic minority investments and partnerships (for example in Reinhart Partners and Sagard affiliates) that create affiliations the firm may recommend. The Brochure also indicates the firm provides municipal advisory services — an activity that is relatively uncommon among large institutional advisers — and discloses other structural details (such as its broker‑dealer affiliation, cash sweep arrangements and trust alliances) that clients should consider when evaluating potential conflicts and service options.

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
