About
Franklin Street Advisors, Inc. provides discretionary, customized investment management to high‑net‑worth individuals and a range of institutional clients, including pension plans, trusts, pooled investment vehicles, and governmental entities. The firm offers separately managed accounts with dedicated in‑house equity and taxable and tax‑exempt fixed income management, as well as a Fund Advisory Program that implements strategic asset allocations using mutual funds and ETFs.
Investment decisions are guided by a quarterly Investment Policy Committee and a team‑based manager research process that blends strategic and tactical asset allocation across Growth, Moderate, and Conservative models, plus tailored mandates such as Strategic Growth, Equity Income, and unconstrained fixed income. FSA generally manages client portfolios on a discretionary basis, encourages written investment policy statements, and combines open architecture access to third‑party managers with its internal portfolio teams.
FSA is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Fifth Third Bank and discloses affiliations with a state‑chartered trust company (Franklin Street Trust Company), broker‑dealer affiliates and Comerica Securities, reflecting uncommon banking, trust and municipal‑advisor linkages for a multi‑team advisory firm. The firm also acts as adviser and sponsor to private pooled vehicles (the Franklin Street Partners Manager of Managers LLC series) and notes that those vehicles are maintained with qualified custodians and audited by independent auditors subject to PCAOB inspection; the brochure emphasizes investment management and related consulting and trust services rather than standalone financial planning.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
