About
Franson Financial provides investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan advisory services to individuals, businesses, trusts, and estates, including guidance on held-away employer retirement accounts. Although the firm’s brochure lists high-net-worth individuals among the client types it serves, its current roster (19 clients with about $2.22 million in discretionary AUM) does not include high-net-worth clients, which is atypical for similarly supported firms.
The firm combines fundamental, cyclical, and technical analysis to build tailored, primarily discretionary portfolios across a broad set of strategies, including Index/US Bond/US Dollar (IBD), US and Global Dividend Income, Global Macro, Bond Income, and custom portfolios. It has recently added a set of buy-and-hold ETF-based portfolios — including a Cryptocurrency ETF portfolio and use of option-based structured protection ETFs within stated limits — and offers both actively managed and buy-and-hold approaches.
Distinctive for a two-advisor practice with modest assets, Franson Financial directs managed accounts to Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers to access institutional trading, custody, and research services and discloses the use of commission-linked research (soft-dollar) arrangements. The firm also makes explicit provisions for non-discretionary retirement plan advisory on held-away accounts and discloses limited outside business activities by its principals, such as independent consulting and real property rentals.

Advisors at this firm
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
