About

Ashton Thomas Private Wealth provides investment advisory and wealth-management services to a broad client base, including individuals, business entities, trusts, family offices, retirement plans and institutional accounts. Services include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management on wrap and non‑wrap bases, financial planning and retirement-plan fiduciary consulting, and access to third‑party managers through its Amplify Platform.

The firm typically allocates client assets across mutual funds, ETFs, independent managers and sub‑advisers, and may use strategies such as options, structured notes, inverse/enhanced products and selective cryptocurrency exposure via ETFs or specialist managers. Ashton Thomas also presents performance history for predecessor or affiliated strategies tied to its acquisitions and boutiques (for example via its Mill Street and Day Hagan affiliations), a disclosure and marketing practice that is less common among large enterprise advisers.

Distinctive features include ownership of Day Hagan Asset Management (an adviser to certain ETFs) and a platform model that requires investment adviser representatives to use the Amplify Platform (with Platform Fees disclosed and sometimes absorbed by advisers), as well as routine use of sub‑advisers for fixed‑income management. The firm disclosed an SEC enforcement action in 2024 for a late 13(f) filing and a $375,000 sanction and states it implemented new procedures thereafter; investors should weigh these regulatory and affiliated‑product disclosures alongside the firm’s other policies on conflicts and fee sharing.

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 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
