About

World Equity Group, Inc. provides fee‑based investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. It offers managed portfolios primarily through its Adhesion Money Management wrap‑fee program and related advisory programs that combine discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and access to third‑party money managers.

The firm uses a risk‑tolerance questionnaire to help determine asset‑allocation models and grants discretionary authority to third‑party money managers and IARs to invest, allocate and rebalance client accounts; clients may elect a Tax Overlay Management option or an ETF Select model for smaller accounts. Custody and trade execution are provided through Schwab & Co., WEG reviews manager performance at least annually, and IARs review client accounts on an ongoing basis, no less than annually.

WEG is dually registered as an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer, and many of its investment adviser representatives are also licensed insurance agents who may receive customary commission compensation for insurance transactions. The firm discloses a history of FINRA disciplinary actions (including an August 23, 2018 AWC involving fines and restitution related to variable annuity sales), notes recent ownership changes that made it a subsidiary of Binah Capital Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCG), and provides formal periodic summaries of material changes 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.

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
