About
First Financial Security, LLC serves individual clients with investment management and securities advice and also offers a short-term "special consultation" option for clients who prefer project-style engagements. The firm reports managing about $11.7 million across 29 accounts and devotes the majority of its professional time to investment management.
The adviser combines fundamental and technical analysis and implements long-term, short-term, and trading strategies tailored to each client; portfolios are managed on an individualized, non-discretionary basis, meaning client approval is required for transactions. Accounts are reviewed quarterly and clients receive trade confirmations and custodian statements directly from the qualified custodian, while the firm does not provide separate written performance reports to investment management clients.
Distinctive features include the firm’s primarily non-discretionary model—an arrangement that is relatively uncommon among independent advisers—and a policy of executing trades for clients individually rather than aggregating (block) trades. The firm also commonly recommends custody through a major institutional platform (Charles Schwab) and offers alternative billing arrangements for consultations, such as hourly or fixed-fee engagements.

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
