About
Advocate Investing Services is a four-advisor firm that provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, and advisory consulting to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm tailors strategies to client objectives and may engage third‑party sub‑advisers to manage portions of accounts.
Advocate collects client goals, risk tolerances, and financial information to construct customized portfolios and conducts ongoing monitoring and rebalancing; its stated methods include fundamental, technical, cyclical analysis, and modern portfolio theory. Implementation can range from long‑term buy-and-hold to shorter‑term trading and may involve margin and option strategies when appropriate for a client’s objectives.
What distinguishes Advocate from many peers is its explicit use of derivatives and market‑linked instruments — including options, futures, structured products, and PIPEs — within separately managed accounts, a capability that the firm highlights in its disclosure. The brochure also discloses that advisors are registered representatives of LPL Financial and licensed insurance agents (with related commission and custody arrangements and rollover incentives), a set of affiliations and compensation practices clients should consider in conjunction with the firm’s use of more complex instruments.

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
