About

The Wellington Group provides wealth planning, financial planning, consulting, and discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, and small business entities. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reports roughly $474 million in regulatory assets under management and operates with a team structure that supports ongoing supervision and customized investment policy statements for each client.

The firm blends passive and active management and emphasizes client‑specific investment policy statements, asset allocation, and continuous monitoring. Wellington routinely recommends and allocates to third‑party managers, separately managed accounts, and alternative or tax‑aware strategies — including quantitative models, long/short exposures, derivatives, hedging, and private fund or pooled investment vehicles — when appropriate for a client’s objectives and constraints.

Wellington’s brochure discloses several arrangements that distinguish its practice from many peers: it may allocate to private equity funds and private placements and act in roles that involve fee‑sharing, solicitor/referral arrangements, or sub‑adviser relationships with other investment advisers. The firm’s personnel also operate in other financial capacities (registered representative relationships, insurance agent sales through IMOs), which the brochure notes can create conflicts of interest that the firm manages through disclosure, due diligence, and supervisory practices.

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.
