About

Ameritas Advisory Services, LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to a broad client base that includes individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, charitable organizations, and corporate clients through a network of Investment Adviser Representatives (IARs). The firm offers a range of managed account programs — wrap and non‑wrap models, third‑party and sub‑advised solutions, and ongoing consulting — and also provides fee‑based management of variable annuity and variable universal life subaccounts.

Advisory relationships are delivered on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases, with IARs using risk questionnaires, model portfolios and periodic reviews to align allocations with client objectives; the firm’s Investment Committee and third‑party partners (including AIP and Envestnet) support portfolio construction, monitoring and trading. Ameritas integrates multiple custodial and execution platforms (NFS, Schwab, Fidelity) and makes use of third‑party tools such as Pontera for held‑away retirement plan management while applying standard supervisory and disclosure practices to address conflicts.

Distinctive elements include the firm’s affiliation with a municipal securities dealer and municipal advisor under its broker‑dealer affiliate AIC — an affiliation that the brochure cites as the reason the firm does not permit advisory account purchases of municipal securities underwritten by AIC — and its parent/affiliate structure that links the adviser (AAS) with Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. (ALIC) and Ameritas Investment Partners (AIP). The firm also offers a dedicated Adviser Managed Variable Products (AMVP) program that can manage variable product subaccounts on a discretionary basis and discloses specific conflict‑management measures such as share‑class conversions and 12b‑1 rebate practices for certain custodial platforms.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
