About
Brighton Securities serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charities, estates, trusts, and businesses, offering financial planning, portfolio management on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases, wrap fee programs delivered through its clearing relationship, mutual fund direct advisory accounts, and standalone consulting. The firm is dually registered as an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a FINRA member broker‑dealer and also offers brokerage execution, insurance products, and affiliated tax and accounting services through Brighton Securities Tax and Accounting.
The firm implements client solutions through a mix of program structures — including Personalized UMA, FundSource, PIM, client‑directed Asset Advisor/Custom Choice accounts, and mutual fund wrap programs — and uses a range of analytical approaches from fundamental and quantitative screening to strategic and tactical asset allocation and periodic rebalancing. Brighton is winding down a legacy proprietary SAMI managed account program (available only to legacy clients, with no advisory fees being charged during the wind‑down) and notes that some portfolio management is provided by third‑party program managers such as Wells Fargo Advisory under its wrap arrangements.
Brighton’s dual registration and continued brokerage activity — including the potential for commission‑based compensation and execution of trades in its broker‑dealer capacity — and its affiliated tax business distinguish it from many multi‑team advisory firms that operate only as RIAs. The brochure discloses prior regulatory matters (a 2017 FINRA consent relating to unsuitable short‑term mutual fund trading and a September 2024 SEC consent and $175,000 penalty for failure to disclose conflicts tied to its clearing relationship), and details specific economic arrangements with its clearing firm (an October 2025 renegotiated clearing agreement with a $3,000,000 lump‑sum extension award, up to $500,000 in recruiting support, and revenue sharing from the cash sweep program of up to 0.90% annualized), all of which the firm identifies as potential conflicts it manages through disclosure and supervision.

Advisors at this firm
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
