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.

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
