About
Collins Advisors provides investment advisory and retirement plan consulting services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, and business entities. The firm reports a small advisory team of two advisors managing roughly $176 million for about 525 clients and delivers comprehensive portfolio management alongside employer retirement plan consulting.
The firm’s investment process combines multiple analytic methods — including fundamental, technical, quantitative and cyclical analysis — and employs a broad set of instruments such as individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, options and other public and private securities. Collins Advisors may recommend and oversee sub-advisers for portions of client portfolios, and it exercises discretionary authority to hire, fire or reallocate among sub-advisers while monitoring alignment with client goals.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that the firm’s representatives also act as insurance agents/brokers and receive customary insurance compensation, and the firm discloses the use of borrowing in separately managed accounts — practices that are less common among peers. The brochure also notes the firm’s small-team structure and its stated fiduciary duty to tailor portfolios and rebalance based on individual client objectives and risk tolerance.

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
