About

Hammond Iles Wealth Advisors provides personalized, discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporations and other entities, managing roughly $475 million in client assets. The firm’s written services include a Diversified Portfolio Management (DPM) program, standalone financial planning and consulting, and educational seminars and speaking engagements.

The brochure describes a long‑term, asset‑allocation driven investment approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory, the Five‑Factor Model and the Efficient Market Hypothesis, typically implemented with ETFs and mutual funds and periodic rebalancing. HIWA also incorporates tax‑aware tools and strategies — including 55IP model portfolios and recurring tax‑loss harvesting (“Tax‑Smart Transitioning,” “Ongoing Tax Management,” and “Tax‑Smart Withdrawals”) — and may use Defined Outcome ETFs that employ options strategies to provide defined downside protection and capped upside.

Distinctive disclosures in the brochure note that the firm operates under the legal name Kelly Financial Group, LLC and also functions as an insurance agency, and that advisory representatives are dually registered as registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, creating potential commission conflicts. The firm further highlights educational workshops as part of its outreach and, in its marketing disclosures, indicates the use of testimonials, endorsements and third‑party ratings, as well as the occasional use of derivative‑based strategies in managed accounts.

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
