About

Citizens Securities serves a broad retail client base, including individual and high-net-worth investors and individual retirement plans, and offers both investment advisory programs and brokerage and insurance services. Its advisory offerings include a digital advisory program (managed in partnership with SigFig) and a separate Managed Account program, while the firm also operates as a broker-dealer and insurance agency.

The Digital Advisory Program recommends ETF-based portfolios using the Manager’s proprietary algorithms and a client risk-tolerance questionnaire (age, time horizon, income, liquid assets and savings rate) and can implement portfolios on a discretionary basis with optional tax-loss harvesting. That digital platform represents a small portion of the firm’s advisory activity (Digital Advisory Program assets were $29,651,864 as of December 31, 2024) while the firm also conducts commission-based brokerage and other non-discretionary business, which helps explain why much of the firm’s overall activity is not limited to discretionary advisory assets.

Distinctive aspects disclosed in the brochure include that Citizens Securities is 100% owned by Citizens Bank, N.A., and uses a proprietary Bank Deposit Sweep Program (BDSP) that generates credits and revenue sharing with the program custodian; the firm also discloses referral and affiliate arrangements and a small indirect ownership stake (less than 1%) in the Manager through Citizens Ventures/Nvest. The brochure further notes the firm is no longer accepting new Digital Advisory Program accounts as of December 8, 2024, and describes the potential conflicts and supervisory safeguards that arise from its combined bank, broker-dealer, and advisory roles.

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
