Antonelli Financial Advisors, LLC

Antonelli Financial Advisors serves individuals (including high-net-worth and non-HNW clients) as well as pension plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities, offering fee-based investment management alongside financial planning, retainer-based engagements, and hourly/project planning services. The firm provides an initial consultation and tailors its services to each client’s needs and circumstances.

The firm implements a modern portfolio theory approach, building globally diversified portfolios using ETFs, mutual funds, individual stocks and bonds and documenting an Investment Policy Statement for each client; it generally manages client accounts on a discretionary basis and can implement SRI guidelines when requested. AFA coordinates with clients’ other advisors as needed and provides ongoing monitoring and periodic rebalancing tied to client goals and market conditions.

What is notable about this firm is its compact team—two advisors overseeing roughly $229 million across about 189 client relationships—yielding a relatively large asset base per advisor compared with many small practices. The firm’s Form ADV also discloses a past regulatory matter: a registration oversight in 2018–2019 that resulted in cease-and-desist orders and civil fines by the Michigan regulator, which the firm corrected and for which the fines were paid.
