About
Acts Financial Advisors, LLC provides individualized financial planning and investment management primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, and also offers consulting to businesses and employee benefit plans. The firm reports approximately $126.5 million in assets under management and offers one-time and ongoing financial planning, tailored portfolio management, business planning, real estate analysis, and retirement plan consulting.
The firm describes a largely passive, Modern Portfolio Theory-based approach that uses index mutual funds and ETFs as core holdings while employing fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis to inform asset-allocation and tactical decisions. Portfolios are constructed around a client-specific investment policy statement, reviewed on a regular basis, and the brochure discloses that strategies may involve alternative investments and leverage, with attendant risks related to borrowing and use of margin.
AFA is distinctive among similar-sized advisers in combining traditional advisory services with real estate and public-education activities: one principal is a licensed real estate agent and the firm offers real estate analysis services, and the brochure also states the firm presents periodic educational seminars and workshops that are offered free to the public. The principals’ backgrounds and outside activities — including medical and business credentials, ongoing clinical practice for one principal, ownership of a personal-finance media venture, and licensure to sell insurance — are disclosed and noted as potential sources of conflicts that the firm documents for clients.

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.
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
