About

1st Discount Brokerage, Inc. provides advisory services to individuals (including both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth clients), corporations, and pension/profit‑sharing plans, offering discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, manager‑selection and consulting services, advisory referrals, and tax/accounting services through its MyCFO offering. The firm also sponsors a wrap‑fee program called the Freedom Account and offers both fee‑based and commission‑based account options.

Investment decisions are guided by written investment policy statements and a mix of fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis, with strategies that include long‑term and short‑term purchases, trading, option writing, margin and short sales, as well as allocation to third‑party managers via manager‑selection programs. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and clients receive custodial statements and performance reporting, with the firm operating in both discretionary and non‑discretionary capacities.

The firm is dually registered as an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a FINRA‑member broker‑dealer, with affiliated insurance and tax/accounting activities and trade clearing through Apex Clearing; it discloses that direct fee deductions from custodian accounts result in being deemed to have custody under SEC rules. 1st Discount Brokerage transitioned to SEC registration in June 2025 and discloses prior regulatory settlements, including an SEC settlement in 2012 and a FINRA settlement in 2015 involving supervisory and registration issues that resulted in censures and monetary sanctions.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
