About
Welch Investment Group provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning primarily for individuals (including high-net-worth clients), as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and pension consulting clients. The firm manages about $263.8 million for roughly 387 client relationships through a small advisory team and provides retirement rollover advice supported by a written "Retirement Advice Disclosure."
Portfolios are tailored to each client’s objectives and risk tolerance and generally include individual stocks and bonds, exchange-traded funds, and no-load or load-waived mutual funds, with periodic rebalancing and reviews at least annually. The firm uses multiple public research sources and asks for discretionary authority in most accounts to implement its allocations while emphasizing diversification and cost-aware administration.
The brochure highlights a couple of features that distinguish Welch from many peers: it distributes regular written client communications beyond standard quarterly statements (including periodical material) and explicitly documents coordination with clients’ accountants and attorneys as part of its services. The firm also maintains a detailed Code of Ethics (including a 24-hour blackout period for personal trades and a policy to donate any advantage gained by an employee trade) and does not vote client proxies, leaving ballots to be sent directly to clients.

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 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
