Welch Group Portfolio holdings
The Welch Group is a fee-only financial planning and investment firm that Stewart H. Welch III founded in 1984, among the first of its kind in its area, with the aim of putting people ahead of product sales. It earns its money only from client-paid fees for financial planning and investment management, and its work spans investing, estate planning, tax strategy and risk management. In 2018 Welch Investments, a sister company also controlled by Welch, was merged into the firm. Its clients include individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts and businesses.
