About

Fifth Third Securities, Inc. serves a broad mix of individual (including high‑net‑worth) and institutional clients — corporations, trusts, retirement accounts and other business entities — through both investment advisory and brokerage channels. The firm sponsors the Passageway Managed Account Program, a wrap‑fee platform delivered via Fidelity’s Managed Account Xchange (FIWA) with National Financial Services (NFS) as clearing custodian, and is registered as a broker‑dealer, SEC‑registered investment adviser, and municipal advisor.

Investment services are provided through multiple program types and third‑party portfolio managers available on the Passageway platform; clients work with an Investment Advisor Representative to establish a risk profile and select programs ranging from advisor‑directed mutual‑fund/ETF models to SMA strategies, tax‑overlay services, and direct‑indexing options. The firm discloses that IARs may act as portfolio managers in certain programs, that FIWA performs platform due diligence, and that some SMA managers use direct indexing and tax‑loss harvesting techniques.

Noteworthy distinctions include its corporate structure as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Fifth Third Bank and the firm’s retained municipal‑advisor and broker‑dealer activities, which the ADV discloses alongside related regulatory matters and potential conflicts tied to underwriting, clearing arrangements, and advisor compensation. At enterprise scale — roughly $10.9 billion in AUM, about 919 advisors and over 46,000 clients — the brochure details multiple affiliated entities, program fees, and disclosure of conflicts so prospective clients can review how these relationships may affect advisory recommendations.
