About
Hickory Financial Group, LLC is a state-registered, single-advisor independent investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and related advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses. The firm requires a minimum account for portfolio management and can manage accounts on either a discretionary or, in limited cases, non-discretionary basis.
HFG’s primary strategy is equity-oriented, typically employing a mix of sector- and factor-weighted ETFs and individual stocks, while also providing guidance on mutual funds, options strategies, and investments in limited partnerships on request. The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis (including charting and cyclical methods), monitors portfolios continuously, and rebalances as market conditions change; clients may impose reasonable written restrictions on investments.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that associated persons are licensed insurance agents who may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, which the firm identifies as a potential conflict of interest. The firm recommends TD Ameritrade Institutional as its custodian and receives technology and research support through that relationship, does not accept performance-based fees, does not vote client proxies, and notes that its equity-driven portfolios are not tailored to the individual needs of any end client.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
