About
Woodward Diversified Capital is a fee-only, SEC‑registered investment adviser that manages about $610 million for roughly 400 clients, including individual and high‑net‑worth investors, trusts, businesses, retirement plans and pooled investment vehicles. The firm provides investment and wealth management, financial planning, selection of independent managers, fiduciary services for plan sponsors, and portfolio management for private equity funds and other pooled vehicles.
The firm constructs customized, risk‑adjusted and tax‑aware portfolios using a mix of active and passive strategies across equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds and, where appropriate, alternative investments and digital assets. Woodward Diversified Capital generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis, monitors selected third‑party managers, and tailors allocations to clients’ stated objectives and risk profiles.
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its role as managing member and investment manager to a suite of sector‑focused private funds (energy, technology, biotech, space and others), including a recently launched X.AI fund, and the related use of performance‑based compensation and pooled structures. The firm also sponsors a wrap fee program and provides portfolio management for pooled vehicles, arrangements that create side‑by‑side management considerations the firm addresses through documented allocation and disclosure practices.

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
