About

Janney Montgomery Scott LLC is a large, dually registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment adviser that manages roughly $110 billion in discretionary and non-discretionary client assets. The firm serves a broad client base — individuals (including high-net-worth clients), families, trusts and estates, corporate and retirement plan sponsors, charitable organizations and municipal clients — and offers brokerage services, financial planning, consulting, and multiple wrap/advisory programs.

The firm delivers investment advice through a mix of in‑house portfolio management and third‑party managers across eleven wrap programs, a unified managed account (UMA) overlay, and model portfolios; Janney Capital Management was integrated into the firm in 2026 to centralize professional asset management. It also operates a centralized Janney Client Service Center that provides limited, call‑center based advisory service and employs formal due‑diligence and monitoring processes for managers and pooled products.

Janney’s structure includes a New Hampshire‑chartered subsidiary trust company and it acts as a custodian for certain IRA, Coverdell, and qualified retirement assets — capabilities that are uncommon among large enterprise advisers and that support custody and trustee services in‑house. The firm is also registered as a municipal advisor (and is affiliated with a municipal advisor), continues to operate brokerage businesses that can involve commissions and “step‑out” trade execution, and discloses related conflicts and mitigation policies tied to affiliated ownership and third‑party relationships.

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
