About

CreativeOne Securities, LLC is a multi-advisor registered investment adviser that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, trusts, charitable organizations, and business entities through a network of 127 advisors. The firm offers financial planning, consulting, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, retirement‑plan fiduciary services (including ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) services), and access to third‑party manager programs and a proprietary advisory platform.

C1S combines project‑based planning and on‑going asset management, using fundamental and cyclical security analysis, model asset allocations available through its CreativeOne Wealth platform, and referrals to external money managers. Clients can accept and implement planning recommendations with the custodian of their choice in many cases, while managed accounts are reviewed periodically and rebalanced to align with stated objectives.

Distinctive features include that C1S also operates as a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer and that many representatives are licensed insurance agents, which the firm discloses creates conflicts of interest and which it mitigates through documented best‑interest reviews and supervisory sign‑off for fixed‑index annuity recommendations. The firm is affiliated with Creative One Marketing Corporation and CreativeOne Wealth, LLC, offers affiliated platform and model services, and discloses revenue‑sharing and certain custodial fee mark‑ups that may influence recommendations.

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
