About

World Investment Advisors, LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser that provides portfolio management and advisory services to individuals and a range of institutional and retirement-plan clients, including 401(k), 403(b), pension, foundation and endowment accounts. Its services encompass wrap-fee programs, the World Managed Account Platform (WorldMAP) with advisor-managed, Cota Street, and third‑party manager models, third‑party money manager access via Envestnet, financial planning, and reporting/data-aggregation tools such as eMoney.

The firm deploys both discretionary and non-discretionary solutions and relies on model-based strategies as well as advisor-created customized portfolios, using fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis supported by platform trading, rebalancing and monitoring tools (Vestmark, VAS, Envestnet). WIA discloses roughly $31.7 billion in discretionary and $39.9 billion in non-discretionary assets under management as of December 31, 2025, and offers tax-managed overlay and direct indexing (CSDI) services that are monitored and adjusted as part of its model oversight process.

Noteworthy features in WIA’s brochure include affiliations with broker‑dealers such as Goldman Sachs & Co. and World Investments, and multiple affiliated insurance entities (e.g., World Insurance Associates and PPIS), with some advisors also serving as registered representatives or insurance agents — arrangements WIA discloses as potential conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses participation in third‑party‑sponsored educational seminars, operation through a broad advisor network and platform relationships, the retention of portions of certain program fees (Program, TMO, CSDI) that can create economic incentives, and recent material changes reported in its annual brochure.

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
