About

A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners is a dually registered SEC investment adviser and FINRA‑member broker‑dealer serving individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households), retirement plans, and pooled/institutional vehicles across a multi‑team platform. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial and estate planning (including a partnership with Trust & Will), model and wrap fee programs, third‑party sub‑advisory arrangements, and brokerage and insurance product distribution.

Investment advice is delivered through a mix of strategies with a notable emphasis on international investing via the EPC Advisors Group division, combining top‑down country/currency analysis with bottom‑up security selection; A.G.P. also offers A.G.P. Model Portfolios (primarily ETF‑based) and separately managed accounts implemented by sub‑advisers such as EPAM. Client work generally begins with gathering financial information and setting objectives in an Investment Policy Statement, after which portfolios may be managed on a discretionary basis with periodic reviews, rebalancing, and the occasional use of derivatives or margin where deemed suitable.

Distinctive features relative to many multi‑team peers include the firm’s active broker‑dealer operations and other financial product sales, its role as adviser to pooled vehicles (such as GP Advisor Fund) and affiliation with a private fund (AGP Alternative Investment Fund II), and the management of pooled‑vehicle accounts — all activities that are statistically uncommon for firms in this category. The firm has also disclosed regulatory matters in recent years (including actions involving the SEC, FINRA, Nasdaq and a state insurance agency) and publicly discloses various custodian revenue‑sharing and rebate arrangements (for example with Fidelity and RBC); its advisory pricing is generally negotiated as percentage‑of‑AUM rather than presented as fixed fees.

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
