About
First Citizens Investor Services, Inc. serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporate/business entities, delivering advisory and brokerage services through IARs and third‑party Portfolio Managers. Its offerings include portfolio management (UMAs and SMAs), wrap programs, model portfolios, a Guided Investing automated platform, Tax Aware services, and financial planning.
The firm’s client process centers on IAR‑led assessments of financial needs, risk tolerance, and time horizon, applying fundamental, quantitative, and technical analysis to allocate among equities, fixed income, mutual funds, and ETFs. As of December 31, 2025, FCIS reported $2,626,080,185 in client assets—approximately $2,622,926,802 held in non‑discretionary accounts and $3,153,383 in discretionary accounts—reflecting a predominance of non‑discretionary client arrangements; an Investment Products Committee conducts due diligence and ongoing reviews of designated Portfolio Managers.
Noteworthy distinctions include the firm’s reliance on percentage‑of‑AUM and wrap fee structures rather than fixed‑fee arrangements, and a limited “Representative as Portfolio Manager” option available only to select IARs. FCIS is dually registered and affiliated with First Citizens Bank and related advisers, has implemented remediation of a prior SEC matter by crediting 12b‑1 fees back to clients since 2016, and offers optional tax transition and tax‑loss harvesting services (tax transition planning can extend up to several years).

Advisors at this firm
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.
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
