About

Financial Security Advisory, Inc. provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, trusts, estates and employer-sponsored plans, managing portfolios that include mutual funds, stocks, bonds, ETFs and, where appropriate, illiquid alternative investments. The firm also offers advisory programs delivered through third‑party platforms (including a Charles Schwab Managed Advisory Platform) and will accept transferred legacy positions when constructing client accounts.

FSA emphasizes asset allocation as the primary driver of portfolio construction and favors long‑term holdings, using quantitative screening and qualitative due diligence (including manager tenure and multi‑period performance) to select mutual funds and other investments. Accounts are typically managed on a limited discretionary basis, with periodic reviews and the option to use separate account managers or alternative investments when deemed suitable.

The brochure discloses affiliations with related entities that sell insurance and variable products, noting those relationships may create potential conflicts of interest when recommending products or companies to clients. Unlike many peers that offer fixed‑fee arrangements, FSA’s advisory practice is structured around percentage‑of‑AUM fees (negotiable) and hourly or project fees for planning, and the firm has expanded disclosures about additional expenses tied to private equity and other alternative investments.

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
