About

Ascentis Asset Management provides sub-advisory portfolio modeling, model portfolio construction and signaling services to other investment advisers and Unified Managed Account (UMA) program sponsors rather than directly managing underlying client accounts. The firm delivers model portfolios and implementation guidance to primary advisers and Platforms, with arrangements that can be discretionary or non‑discretionary depending on each sub‑advisory agreement.

Ascentis builds asset allocations and selects underlying investments using charting, fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis, and it can create custom models or sleeves based on parameters set by the primary adviser. Implementation generally occurs through third‑party Platforms and UMA programs, and Ascentis also develops Model Funds and Model Products that may be included in those model portfolios.

Notable features in the brochure include that Ascentis does not directly custody or manage client assets and instead receives advisory and model‑related compensation from primary advisers and a portion of Platform fees, and it discloses a fee‑sharing arrangement with a third party broker‑dealer. The firm also offers subscription signaling services, includes real estate funds and precious‑metal ETFs in its investable universe, and notes that some supervised persons are registered representatives of broker‑dealers—each of which the brochure highlights as potential conflicts to be considered.

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
