Private Wealth Management Since 1838
Our roots grow deep here, just like our relationships.

As one of the area's most distinguished private wealth management firms, and with $4.5 billion in assets*, Welch & Forbes is small enough to offer customized investment portfolios – yet large enough to provide for a broad array of sophisticated needs and requirements, including investment portfolio management, personal trust and fiduciary services, estate planning and administration, and tax and custodial services.
*as of March 31, 2017

A tradition of excellence.
