About
Benjamin Securities, Inc. provides investment management and brokerage services to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, foundations, corporations, and retirement plans. Offerings include traditional brokerage cash and margin accounts, fee‑based and commission‑based portfolio management, separately managed accounts, and certain performance‑fee strategies.
The firm’s investment process emphasizes long‑term portfolio strategies informed by fundamental and cyclical analysis, with accounts customized for tax considerations and socially conscious restrictions; it provides both discretionary and non‑discretionary management. Benjamin relies on third‑party research and a correspondent relationship with RBC Capital Markets, and uses Interactive Brokers as a custodial option to support execution and custody services.
Notably, the firm is also a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer and its advisors act as registered representatives, enabling the sale of commissionable products and direct brokerage activity — an affiliation that is uncommon for peers in this category. The brochure discloses that the firm receives revenue sharing from money‑market sweep programs (which reduces client interest), offers performance‑based strategies that charge a 20% fee with a high‑water mark, and that certain advisors’ supplements disclose past regulatory sanctions.

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.
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
