About

Woodward Caire Advisors serves high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts, family offices, pooled vehicles and other registered advisers, and generally applies a preferred $1 million minimum for direct management. The firm provides discretionary wealth management and portfolio management with integrated financial planning at no additional fee, and also offers model‑provider services, RIA consulting, and organizational coaching and education.

The firm’s investment approach is built on a “SGARP” (Sustainable Growth at a Reasonable Price) philosophy implemented through a repeatable, bottom‑up process that is roughly 60% quantitative and 40% qualitative, with a technical overlay and formal sell discipline. Strategies include a Small Companies SMID‑style portfolio, a concentrated Leading Firms strategy that may hedge or short market indices (and a long‑only variant), plus a separate fixed‑income program used to complement equity allocations.

Compared with many peers, the firm discloses predecessor‑firm performance following a 2026 name and ownership change and publishes performance results and third‑party endorsements in its marketing materials; it also engages and pays independent solicitors for client referrals. Its business mix is noteworthy for a small adviser—managing roughly $23 million for 24 client relationships with two advisors—because it actively serves as a model provider and RIA consultant (including a revenue‑share arrangement) and uses specific operational rules for fixed‑income allocation, such as a randomized priority process when securities are limited.

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
