About

WaFd Wealth, Inc. serves individuals, high net worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and retirement plans, managing $348,143,236 in client assets across 274 client relationships with a team of seven advisors. The firm offers financial planning, consulting, wealth management, investment management and retirement plan consulting services, including ERISA fiduciary services for plan sponsors.

Portfolios are tailored to client objectives and implemented using exchange-traded funds, individual equity and debt securities and selected independent managers, with WaFd Wealth employing fundamental, technical, top-down and bottom-up analysis across both discretionary and non-discretionary engagements. The firm monitors accounts on an ongoing basis, allocates based on risk tolerance and time horizon, and may recommend held-away products such as variable life insurance, annuities and employer-sponsored plans when appropriate.

Distinctive features include common ownership with a bank and an affiliated insurance agency, which the brochure discloses can create conflicts of interest when the firm recommends banking or insurance products and notes certain principals have loans from the related bank. The firm is also the sponsor and manager of a wrap fee program — and expects to manage most accounts through that program — and discloses receipt of implementation and transition support from its chosen custodian arrangement, all of which are noted as potential conflicts of interest in its Form ADV.

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
