About

Hancock Whitney Investment Services, Inc. provides discretionary model-based investment advice to participants in wrap-fee managed account programs, offering separately managed accounts (SMAs) and Fund Strategy Portfolios (FSPs) through program sponsors and a platform manager. The firm’s assets under management were reported at about $306 million and its services are delivered primarily to individual investors via those program relationships rather than through individualized, bespoke advisory engagements.

HWIS develops and maintains model target portfolios and transmits those models to the platform manager (Envestnet), which implements trades and provides custody and client reporting; HWIS uses fundamental and quantitative analysis and a manager-selection process that combines quantitative screening with qualitative interviews for FSP managers. The firm does not customize its model portfolios for individual participants, does not execute trades for the managed programs, and relies on program sponsors to assess participant suitability and investment restrictions.

The firm’s structure and affiliations are notable: HWIS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hancock Whitney Corporation, is affiliated with Hancock Whitney Bank and the bank’s Hancock Whitney Asset Management (HWAM) group, and is also registered as a broker-dealer with limited underwriting activity—features that are uncommon among similar team firms. The brochure discloses receipt of marketing support from product and program vendors, shared personnel/resources with HWAM, and prior regulatory settlements (including an SEC order related to mutual fund share-class selection and a FINRA matter), all of which are described as potential sources of conflicts and compliance considerations.
