About

The Welch Group serves individual investors, trusts, business entities and retirement plans with discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, and periodic reporting services. In addition to traditional investment management, the firm offers family office–style and concierge services and can implement allocations within variable annuity sub‑divisions when engaged to do so.

The firm designs portfolios to align with each client’s stated objectives and provides ongoing supervision and periodic review, using a mix of fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis across long‑term, short‑term and trading horizons. Financial planning may be delivered as part of an ongoing advisory engagement or as a separate stand‑alone service, and the firm provides aggregated reporting and data storage that can include assets not managed by the adviser.

Several operational features distinguish The Welch Group from many peers: it has adopted controls for the use of artificial intelligence tools, including pre‑approval, vendor due diligence and restrictions on sharing nonpublic personal information with public AI systems. The firm also provides higher‑touch services such as concierge bill‑payment coordination and family office offerings, maintains aggregated reporting for excluded assets, and leaves proxy voting decisions to clients rather than voting client proxies on their behalf.

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
