About

Washington Crossing Advisors, LLC is an SEC-registered investment adviser that provides discretionary investment management to wrap fee programs and dual-contract platforms, non-discretionary model portfolios to model firms, and portfolio management for a unit investment trust. Its client base includes individual and high-net-worth investors, trusts, as well as wrap sponsors and Model Firms that implement WCA’s strategies.

The firm’s investment lineup includes value-driven equity strategies (including a rising dividend approach), laddered corporate bond portfolios, tactical asset-allocation Conquest ETFs, and a balanced Income Builder strategy; WCA typically exercises trading discretion for wrap and dual-contract accounts while delivering model changes and portfolio oversight to third-party Model Firms. WCA conducts regular portfolio reviews and communicates model modifications to sponsors, but Model Firms and wrap sponsors implement trades and custodial arrangements for those accounts.

Notable distinctions for WCA include its ownership by Stifel Financial Corp. and operational ties to affiliated banking and trust entities (including affiliated bank and trust companies mentioned in the brochure), use of affiliated custody for certain wrap accounts, and its role managing a UIT — arrangements that are less common among peers. The firm also serves a large number of client accounts relative to its small advisory headcount (over 3,000 clients with four advisors) and describes its fee receipts as negotiated with wrap sponsors or Model Firms rather than billed directly to underlying investing clients.
