About
Brown, Lisle/Cummings, Inc. provides investment advisory services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations and retirement plans, offering individual portfolio management, financial planning and focused financial consulting. The firm reported roughly $480.6 million in discretionary assets as of December 31, 2025 and delivers both discretionary and non-discretionary services tailored to client objectives.
BLC implements investment strategies using Envestnet’s Managed Account Solutions platform and delivers portfolio management exclusively through a wrap-fee program that bundles management, execution, custody and reporting. Its investment toolkit includes individual equities and fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, structured notes and options (including covered-call strategies), and the firm may permit margin in accounts while generally discouraging its use and including margined assets in fee calculations.
The firm is dual-registered as an SEC-registered investment adviser and a long-standing FINRA-member broker-dealer that acts as an introducing broker-dealer with National Financial Services as a clearing custodian, and some personnel also maintain insurance licenses and broker-dealer registrations — arrangements the brochure discloses and that the firm manages through stated conflicts-of-interest policies. Distinctive operational features noted in the brochure include the requirement that managed accounts participate in the firm’s wrap-fee program, disclosure of use of structured products and options, and a trade implementation practice that generally does not aggregate client trades, each of which can affect execution, custody and potential conflicts to 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.
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
