Windward Wealth Strategies, Inc.

Windward Wealth Strategies, Inc. is a privately held, employee‑owned investment adviser managing roughly $202 million for about 81 clients. It serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as corporations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, municipalities, foundations, trusts and pooled vehicles, offering discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting services.

The firm provides discretionary investment management across domestic and foreign equities, taxable and tax‑exempt fixed income, and alternative investments, including private placements for qualified investors, using fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis in security selection. Windward also delivers written financial plans and, recently added, pension consulting services that include investment policy development, manager recommendations and ongoing monitoring of plan investments.

What is noteworthy is the firm’s role as a sponsor/syndicator of a Regulation D private offering to develop a local arena, and the brochure discloses that the firm or related persons may have material financial interests in certain issuers it recommends. This direct involvement in private real‑estate syndication and the reporting of alternative investments outside custodial control are relatively uncommon among peers and are disclosed as potential conflicts for which client approval and oversight processes are described.
