About

Woodley Farra provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management to individuals (including high net worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations, and it also works with institutional mandates. The brochure describes portfolio services that include investment selection and recommendations, ongoing portfolio monitoring, reporting and rebalancing, and notes participation as a sub‑advisor in wrap fee programs and in joint proposals to institutional clients.

The firm emphasizes equity portfolios constructed of 25–30 larger‑capitalization companies and offers two named strategies—the Core Value Portfolio and the Dividend Portfolio—alongside laddered, investment‑grade fixed income and preferred securities for income needs. Investment decisions are driven by a four‑pronged analysis (fundamental, quantitative, technical and economic), with quarterly account reviews and client reporting that explicitly include performance and asset allocation review.

Distinctive features in the brochure include a total of roughly $2.32 billion in assets under management across about 1,591 clients and 11 advisors (over $200 million AUM per advisor), participation in wrap fee programs (including an instance where the firm receives a portion of the wrap fee), and the use of third‑party services such as Broadridge/Glass Lewis for proxy voting; the firm’s materials and quarterly reports also present performance information and reference third‑party ratings. The brochure focuses on portfolio management rather than describing stand‑alone financial planning services.

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
