About

Chief Advisors Corp is a fee-based registered investment adviser that provides portfolio management and investment advice to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, retirement accounts, estates, corporations, and nonprofit organizations. The firm manages client portfolios across multiple accounts and custodians, with a small team of advisors serving a concentrated client base and operating from six offices.

The firm generally operates with discretionary authority for managed accounts and discourages non‑discretionary arrangements, implementing trades without prior client consent consistent with stated objectives. Its investment process draws on fundamental, technical, and behavioral analysis across a broad range of securities, and it manages accounts separately while noting it does not have a system to monitor individualized trading restrictions imposed by clients.

Chief Advisors is notable for several structural features disclosed in its ADV: many of its investment adviser representatives are dually registered with a broker‑dealer (American Global Wealth Management) and the firm is affiliated with other registered advisers, which the brochure discusses as sources of potential conflicts (for example, mutual fund share‑class and 12b‑1 considerations). The firm also operates from five or more offices—uncommon for similarly sized team firms—and its ADV contains extensive disclosures and policies addressing rollovers, share‑class selection, custody/fee deductions, and other conflict‑management practices.

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
