About
Hilltop Securities serves a mix of individual (including high-net-worth) and institutional clients — including corporate and retirement-plan sponsors — through both investment advisory and broker-dealer services. The firm offers managed account programs, financial planning, retirement-plan advisory and consulting, and annuity-based advisory solutions, and it performs brokerage, execution, clearing and custody functions as described in its disclosure brochure.
The firm delivers advisory services on an open-architecture platform and uses third‑party technology and managers (notably Envestnet) alongside firm‑sponsored strategies; HTS’s HTSPM municipal bond lineup is sponsored by Hilltop, co‑advised by Franklin Templeton Group, LLC and sub‑advised by Western Asset Management. Clients can choose discretionary or non‑discretionary management, access optional tax‑aware and impact overlay services, and receive periodic reporting and program‑level monitoring described in the brochure.
What distinguishes Hilltop from many enterprise peers is its combination of custody, banking and market‑making capabilities: HTS acts as a qualified custodian for program assets, is affiliated with a banking institution and operates an FDIC sweep (BID) structure designed to extend deposit insurance, and it operates as a full‑service broker‑dealer and registered adviser. The firm also sponsors municipal‑focused municipal bond strategies, has implemented program services such as a Global Class Actions Asset Recovery Program with Broadridge, and makes commodity and other specialty strategies available in select programs.
