About
BHK Securities, LLC is a registered investment adviser serving individuals (including both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth clients), corporations and business entities, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable institutions, foundations, estates and trusts, and retirement plan clients. The firm offers investment advisory programs through First Clearing—such as Personalized UMA, FundSource, and Customized Portfolios—and provides non‑discretionary retirement plan consulting and related services.
BHKS implements client strategies primarily by recommending third‑party managers and model portfolios available through First Clearing, using single‑strategy and multi‑strategy blends, model-driven UMA solutions, and strategies that can include covered option writing and, in certain cases, margin or short‑sale activity. Services are provided on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases; as of December 31, 2025 the firm reported $54.7 million in discretionary assets and $73.7 million in non‑discretionary assets, indicating a substantial portion of assets under management where clients retain trading authority.
A number of the firm’s business arrangements are atypical for similarly sized advisor teams: BHKS operates with an affiliated registered investment adviser (BHK Investment Advisors), is registered to sell insurance products and may receive commissions for broker‑dealer or insurance transactions, and participates in wrap fee programs administered by First Clearing. BHKS requires client accounts be carried at First Clearing (a qualified custodian) and discloses receipt of platform, sweep‑related and revenue‑sharing compensation from custodial and program relationships, which can create additional conflicts of interest relative to peers that do not engage in broker‑dealer, insurance, or custodial revenue arrangements.

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
