About

GWN Securities provides investment advisory and related services to individual clients (including high‑net‑worth investors) and corporate/business clients through a range of managed account programs, financial planning, and selection/introduction to third‑party managers. Its service menu is organized into multiple branded programs (e.g., Managed Account, Premier, Total Access, FMAX) that deliver discretionary portfolio management, model portfolios, and financial planning consults.

The firm implements portfolios using a mix of affiliated and unaffiliated sub‑advisers and model-based allocations grounded in asset allocation and Modern Portfolio Theory, while permitting Representatives to select or replace sub‑advisers for client accounts. Certain programs described in the brochure rely on technology platforms (notably the Fidelity‑sponsored FMAX) and the firm discloses use of AI transcription for meeting records and operational purposes.

What distinguishes GWN from many peers is its historic and continued use of market‑timing and momentum‑based strategies in legacy programs (for example, the DRM Direct, CyAM, StAR and MOM programs), a strategy the brochure treats as a trading/tactical approach rather than buy‑and‑hold. The brochure also notes the firm does not list charitable organizations or pension/profit‑sharing plans among its client types and describes integrated broker‑dealer and affiliated insurance/adviser relationships that can affect product availability and compensation.

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
