About

AE Wealth Management provides fee‑based portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan consulting to a broad mix of clients including individual (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth) households, corporations, trusts, and ERISA plan sponsors. The firm operates model portfolio and direct asset management programs, offers 3(21) and 3(38) ERISA services, and supports third‑party RIAs through sub‑advisory and model‑licensing arrangements.

Investment decisions are implemented primarily through discretionary model portfolios managed by AEWM, third‑party Strategists, or advisor‑managed models, with methods of analysis that include fundamental, technical, and cyclical approaches and strategies such as direct indexing, tactical and strategic asset allocation, and limited options overlays. AEWM’s Investment Consulting Group provides regular reporting and commentary on model performance and holdings and delivers model trade signals to subscribers, while client accounts are reviewed at least annually and receive periodic performance reporting.

What is noteworthy about the firm is its scale and platform focus: it manages roughly $49.8 billion for about 127,213 clients across 444 advisors (roughly 280–290 clients per advisor), a client‑to‑advisor ratio that is high for firms of this size and implies reliance on standardized model and platform services. AEWM also operates an AE Investments program and a Strategic Sponsors revenue‑sharing arrangement and is affiliated with multiple broker‑dealer, insurance marketing, and related RIA entities (e.g., AEFS, MAS, Advisors Excel, AMSIS, VIP, and IPW), which expands product access and distribution but introduces additional conflicts that the firm discloses and manages.

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
