About

Hornor, Townsend & Kent (HTK) serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, businesses, charitable organizations, and retirement plans through a network of Advisers, offering advisory programs, financial planning (one‑time and ongoing), and retirement plan consulting. The firm operates both advisory programs and broker‑dealer services, providing custody, execution, and brokerage capabilities alongside investment advice.

HTK’s advisory platform includes third‑party asset manager (TPAM) relationships structured as co‑advisory, promoter, or wrap‑fee arrangements, and it offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary account options — as of December 31, 2025 HTK reported roughly $8.37 billion in discretionary AUM and about $648 million in non‑discretionary AUM. Advisers work with clients to tailor asset allocation, diversification, and other strategies while TPAMs often perform day‑to‑day portfolio management under HTK’s due diligence and supervisory framework.

Distinctive aspects disclosed in the brochure include HTK’s dual registration as an SEC‑registered adviser and FINRA‑member broker‑dealer (a less common configuration among large enterprise firms), its ownership by Penn Mutual with affiliated insurance and underwriting relationships, and the firm’s use of various revenue arrangements — including promoter fees, 12b‑1 receipts, Pershing revenue sharing, and an FDIC‑Eligible Bank Deposit Sweep Product where HTK retains the majority of program fees — all of which are noted as potential conflicts and are addressed through disclosure and supervision.

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
