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.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
