About

Ascentis Independent Advisors is a multi‑team SEC‑registered investment adviser serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, retirement plans, and corporate clients through a network of advisors. The firm offers asset management, comprehensive portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, retirement plan consulting, referrals to third‑party managers, and both wrap and co‑advisory program options.

Portfolios are constructed from a mix of public and private securities — including stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, options, alternative investments, and private placements — and are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis. The firm commonly implements discretionary management via model portfolios, sub‑advisory arrangements (including with an affiliated sub‑adviser), and third‑party co‑advisers or platform programs for trade execution and account administration.

Noteworthy aspects include a Private Direct Investments (PDI) program that offers illiquid private fund opportunities to a limited group of clients with allocation policies that give priority to prior investors, and recent affiliate consolidation and ownership restructuring that expanded in‑house model and sub‑advisory capabilities. The firm’s multi‑office, multi‑advisor scale and routine use of co‑advisory platforms and affiliate models are specifically disclosed in the brochure and are managed through supervisory procedures and written policies to address related conflicts of interest.

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.

By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
