Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
The Welch Group, LLC is an independent registered investment adviser operating as a capital allocator for high-net-worth individuals, families and select institutional clients. The firm blends comprehensive financial planning with discretionary portfolio management and the selection of outside managers, charging a mix of percentage-of-AUM fees alongside hourly and fixed-fee engagements. Investment activity is skewed toward publicly traded equities, with a clear preference for exchange-traded positions and separate account management. The firm is not positioned as an active ESG investor and manages client relationships from a single-office platform. The Welch Group, LLC has been recognized by trade outlets, including FA Magazine (Top RIA Firms, 2020), Citywire (50 Growers Across America, 2020) and Forbes (Top RIA Firms, 2022; America's Top RIA Firms, 2023; Top RIA Firms, 2024).
