About

Ashton Thomas Securities is a registered investment adviser and long‑standing broker‑dealer that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals, business entities, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm manages roughly $1.86 billion for about 2,281 clients through a team of 18 advisors operating across six offices and routinely serves individual (non‑high‑net‑worth) clients alongside plan sponsor relationships.

The firm offers multiple program structures — including wrap and non‑wrap offerings, model portfolios, managed ETF and Morningstar sub‑advised options, and separately managed account programs — and can allocate to unaffiliated independent managers or third‑party sub‑advisers (for example, Altrium for fixed income). Ashton Thomas also provides retirement plan ERISA fiduciary services, ongoing account monitoring and rebalancing, and operates a platform that delivers back‑office, trading and model access to other advisers while retaining responsibility for client suitability and oversight.

What is distinctive about Ashton Thomas relative to many team firms is its integrated broker‑dealer role and related affiliations: it has been a FINRA‑regulated broker‑dealer since 1985 and acts as broker‑dealer of record for advisory program accounts, sponsors the Amplify Platform, and shares common ownership/affiliations with other entities (including an affiliated registered adviser and an insurance agency used for client insurance implementation). Those organizational ties, along with the firm’s use of wrap programs and required platform services for its representatives, create operational and potential conflict considerations that clients should review when comparing it to peers.

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
