About

Fortis Group Advisors is a multi-advisor registered investment adviser that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), employer‑sponsored retirement plans, institutions, charitable organizations, trusts and estates. The firm provides ongoing investment management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), financial planning, legacy position advice and estate/wealth‑planning coordination across mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income, REITs and alternative investments; the firm also manages a wrap fee program and administers ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) plan services.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental and technical analysis, strategic asset allocation, manager selection and periodic rebalancing, with an emphasis on institutional manager due diligence and tax‑aware decisions when appropriate. Fortis uses third‑party tools and vendors — including Nitrogen for quantitative risk profiling and Panoramix for administrative and reporting support — and offers access to third‑party managers and separate account solutions.

Fortis discloses two features that are less common among similar multi‑team firms: certain investment adviser representatives act as licensed insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance products, and some representatives provide accounting and tax preparation services outside their advisory role. These dual roles and the firm’s practice of offering both wrap programs and TPM/third‑party manager solutions are explicitly disclosed in the brochure and accompanied by firm policies intended to manage the related conflicts of interest.

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
