About

Washington Trust Advisors, Inc. provides wealth management, financial planning and portfolio management to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, retirement plans and other institutional clients. The firm offers tailored discretionary portfolios, model portfolio solutions (including Monument Advisor variable annuity model allocations), third‑party manager selection, and estate/fiduciary recommendations, and manages roughly $2.39 billion in client assets.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes asset allocation, manager selection and a blend of fundamental, technical and qualitative analysis applied across mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income and individual equities. Washington Trust Advisors also offers specialized approaches — notably a Focused Thematic Growth individual equity strategy — and may use long‑term holdings and options in appropriate client accounts while integrating legacy separate‑account managers where suitable.

Washington Trust Advisors is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Washington Trust Company and Washington Trust Bancorp, which allows coordination of custody, trust and other banking‑related services and introduces potential conflicts that the firm addresses through segregated responsibilities, disclosures and annual SOC 1 reporting. The firm also provides tax planning and, for legacy Rhode Island clients meeting asset thresholds, tax preparation (including complimentary return preparation), a combination of services that is less common among multi‑team advisory firms.

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
