About
Uwharrie Investment Advisors, Inc. is an SEC-registered multi-advisor firm managing roughly $338 million for about 837 clients through a team of 16 advisors. It provides ongoing, individualized discretionary portfolio management via its UIA Managed Account program and wrap-fee solutions, along with retirement plan consulting (including ERISA 3(21) services), limited financial planning, consulting, and legacy position management.
The firm establishes client investment objectives through an investor questionnaire, risk profile, and a written investment policy statement approved by its Chief Compliance Officer or Investment Committee, then implements portfolios using an asset-allocation approach informed by Modern Portfolio Theory. Its investment process emphasizes mutual fund and ETF analysis, third-party manager due diligence, and the use of TPM-sponsored wrap programs (the firm serves as sponsor and portfolio manager for its wrap program).
Uwharrie is notable for being a wholly owned subsidiary of Uwharrie Capital Corp and operating alongside related entities — Uwharrie Bank, The Strategic Alliance Corporation (a broker-dealer), and BOS Agency (an insurance agency) — which results in shared referral activity, occasional dual-registered personnel, and information-sharing with opt-out provisions. The brochure discloses these affiliations, nominal referral arrangements with the bank, and policies intended to address resulting conflicts (disclosure to clients, approvals, monitoring, and CCO oversight).

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
