About

Hantz Financial Services, Inc. serves a broad mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable and corporate clients, and business owners. The firm provides financial planning, portfolio and wealth management using model portfolios and third‑party SMAs, retirement plan consulting, and also offers brokerage, mortgage‑broker and insurance distribution through affiliated entities.

Investment advice is delivered primarily through ETF‑based model portfolios — described as Globally Diversified Dynamic, Active, and Index “Gears” across five risk levels — supplemented by third‑party money managers, unified managed accounts, and Direct Indexing. Portfolios are managed with an asset‑allocation framework, periodic rebalancing and monitoring, use a TAMP (SmartX) for trade execution/reconciliation, and where enabled employ automated tax‑loss harvesting via the Direct Indexing platform.

The firm’s structure and activities distinguish it from many peers: it combines advisory and broker‑dealer activities with mortgage and insurance product sales, acts as adviser to private and variable insurance registered funds, and participates in private fund management — arrangements that are less common among enterprise advisers. Hantz also has multiple technology and partner relationships disclosed in its brochure — including a relationship with Brooklyn Investment Group (now Nuveen‑affiliated) for Direct Indexing, an agreement with Photon Insights for AI‑assisted client data aggregation, a minority ownership link to SMArtX technology, and a revenue‑sharing marketing arrangement with Future Capital for certain retirement plan referrals — all of which the firm discloses and manages through its policies.

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.
