Bridgeton, MO Office

Arlington Securities provides financial planning and ongoing investment supervisory services to individuals, trusts, estates and business clients, delivering most services through a wrap fee program that combines planning and portfolio management. The firm reports approximately $116.9 million in assets under management and serves a mix of retail and high-net-worth clients.

The firm offers multiple investment methods — including traditional asset allocation using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks and fixed income; rules‑based models; third‑party asset managers; and a market‑timing approach that attempts to time buys and sells based on an advisor’s judgment. Clients may grant either discretionary or non‑discretionary trading authority, and the brochure notes situations where clients retain decision rights before trades are executed.

Arlington is dually registered as both an investment adviser and a broker‑dealer, and its representatives may act in both capacities, receiving commission‑based or insurance compensation for certain product sales — a potential conflict the brochure discloses. The firm also disclosed a recent FINRA disciplinary matter involving variable annuity transactions, including a temporary suspension, monetary sanctions and restitution to affected customers.
