About

Financial Connections Group, Inc. is a fee-only, SEC-registered advisory firm serving individuals, couples (including non-traditional and LGBTQ clients), trusts, estates, endowments, and small businesses; the firm reports managing roughly $624.6 million for about 331 clients with a team of five advisors. It provides both project and ongoing financial planning as well as discretionary investment management and portfolio reporting, and operates under a stated fiduciary standard.

The firm constructs portfolios using a global core-satellite framework — an index-style passive core supplemented by active satellite positions — and emphasizes team-based portfolio design and client involvement in both plan development and ongoing management. It has offered socially responsible / impact (ESG) investing since the late 1990s and uses a third-party platform to view and rebalance held-away retirement accounts without taking custody, allowing consolidated oversight of outside employer plans.

Compared with many peers, the firm highlights professional-affiliation-based practices (membership in the Garrett Planning Network and participation in organizations such as NAPFA and the FPA) and adherence to fee-only, fiduciary principles, and it discloses operational features that may affect clients (use of certain mutual fund families that may carry transaction charges and a policy of not voting client proxies, leaving proxy voting to clients). It also describes specific custodial program relationships that provide the firm with research and trading support while noting those arrangements can create indirect economic benefits to the firm.
