NEW YORK – Farther, the leading technology-centric financial advisory firm, proudly announces the addition of Guild Investment Management, a Los Angeles-based registered investment advisory firm with a distinguished history in investment strategy and global market research. The firm, with $157 million in assets, joins Farther to leverage its innovative platform and expand its delivery of comprehensive financial solutions to clients nationwide.
Founded in 1971 by Montague Guild, Guild has built a reputation as a trusted partner in helping clients achieve financial independence through disciplined investment portfolio management and deep market analysis. The firm is led by its president and primary portfolio manager Anthony Danaher, with Monty Guild and Rudi von Abele serving on their Investment Committee. Rudi serves as senior research analyst and editor of the weekly Guild Global Market Commentary, and Aubrey Ford has excelled at managing client experience. Guild’s team is further supported by a global network of seasoned research analysts and portfolio managers that Mr. Guild has cultivated over five decades.
“Innovation and change in wealth management are accelerating, and advisors need state-of-the-art tools and an open mind to stay ahead. After evaluating dozens of wealth platforms, we chose Farther because it was the best partner to equip our advisors with innovative technology and deliver an exceptional experience for our clients,” said Anthony Danaher, president of Guild Investment Management. “This partnership not only provides Guild with the flexibility to excel in a rapidly evolving industry, but also allows us to enhance client service without selling relationships or compromising our portfolio management autonomy.”
By joining Farther, Guild’s clients gain access to its cutting-edge, all-in-one platform, designed to integrate every aspect of their financial lives. Farther’s technology minimizes administrative tasks – offering features such as automated money movement, tax optimization, and actionable insights that allow advisors to focus on strategic planning and relationship-building. With Farther’s innovative tools, Guild’s advisors can elevate their services and help clients achieve their financial goals more efficiently.
“We are thrilled to welcome Guild Investment Management to Farther. Their expertise and client-first approach align seamlessly with our mission to empower advisors through innovative technology, enabling them to deliver even greater value to their clients,” said Taylor Matthews, CEO and co-founder of Farther.
The addition of Guild caps a record-breaking year for Farther. In 2024, the firm achieved $5 billion in assets under management (AUM) – a fivefold increase from the prior year – following a $72 million Series C funding round. This milestone year also brought numerous accolades, including being named WealthTech of the Year by the US Fintech Awards, recognized among America's Top Financial Advisory Firms of 2025 by Newsweek, featured in the 2024 Fintech Innovation 50, and honored as one of Inc.’s Best Workplaces of 2024.
