About
Focus Advisor Solutions provides turnkey asset management and back‑office services primarily to independent registered investment advisors and their clients, and also offers fixed‑income sub‑advisory services, 3(38) retirement plan investment management, and administration for registered investment companies. The firm supplies model portfolios, operational support (custody liaison, billing, reconciliation) and access to third‑party cash‑management and insurance solutions to advisors that contract with its platform.
FAS emphasizes diversified, systematically invested mutual fund and ETF model portfolios constructed from providers such as Dimensional, Vanguard and BlackRock, and implements those allocations for advisors while offering discretionary fixed‑income management and periodic rebalancing when engaged. When acting as a fiduciary for retirement plans or as a fixed‑income sub‑advisor, FAS accepts discretionary authority to set plan fund menus or select individual fixed‑income securities and monitors accounts for credit changes and tax‑loss harvesting opportunities.
The firm combines enterprise scale with a relatively small advisor base — the platform reports roughly $41 billion of regulatory assets under management and administration and more than 33,000 clients served through about 42 advisors — producing an unusually high client and asset load per advisor. FAS is an indirect subsidiary of Focus Financial Partners (with private‑equity ownership), manages the SA Funds (with DFA as sub‑adviser), offers held‑away account rebalancing via Pontera and provides both turnkey platform services and direct fund management and ERISA 3(38) fiduciary services, a mix that differentiates it from many peers.

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
