About

Associated Investment Services, Inc. provides advisory and brokerage services primarily to individual investors and also to small corporations, trusts, estates, and charitable institutions. The firm offers a range of model portfolio and separately managed account programs delivered through third‑party managers (BlackRock, Envestnet, Vanguard, Russell, Pimco, Wilshire, Innealta) and its affiliate Kellogg Asset Management, and it also sells insurance products in its capacity as a registered broker‑dealer and insurance agency.

AIS delivers advisory services through the Envestnet/NFS platform: clients meet with a Financial Advisor to establish goals and select model strategies, third‑party model providers or KAM implement the portfolios, and Envestnet performs billing, custody and operational functions. The firm reports approximately $1.169 billion in regulatory assets under management (12/31/2025) and states those assets are managed on a predominantly non‑discretionary basis, with model managers and the platform executing strategies rather than AIS exercising discretionary trading authority.

What distinguishes AIS from many peers is its organizational footprint and affiliated business lines: it is an indirect, non‑bank affiliate of Associated Banc‑Corp and is affiliated with Associated Bank, N.A., Associated Trust Company, and KAM, while also operating as a broker‑dealer and insurance agency. Those affiliations support integrated operational services, referral and client segmentation practices (including banking benefits tied to advisory relationships and a monthly correspondent clearing credit from NFS), and the firm also discloses client promotional credits and advisor non‑cash recognition incentives—arrangements the brochure identifies as potential sources of conflicts that clients should consider.

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
