About
Aptus Capital Advisors manages approximately $14.47 billion on a discretionary basis and provides advisory services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, retirement plans, and registered investment companies. The firm offers portfolio management, financial planning, retirement‑plan consulting and OCIO support, sub‑advisory and adviser‑agent services, model‑portfolio subscriptions, options overlay services, and acts as the investment adviser to a suite of Aptus exchange‑traded funds.
The firm implements strategies primarily through ETFs — including nineteen actively managed Aptus funds — and uses a blend of technical and fundamental analysis to seek participation in market upside while attempting to mitigate major drawdowns; portfolios are generally managed on a discretionary, model‑driven basis with periodic reviews. Aptus also delivers model portfolios to other advisers (The Impact Series), operates a Fund Specialist platform, and offers custom options overlay and defined‑outcome/buffer solutions as part of its investment toolkit.
Aptus’s client service model is notable for serving thousands of clients with a relatively small advising team, resulting in an unusually high client count per advisor compared with many multi‑team firms. The firm’s role as adviser to its own ETFs, provider of private‑label ETF and platform services, and receipt of compensation from Fund Specialists and the Funds are disclosed in its brochure as potential conflicts of interest for clients to consider.

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
