About

Linden Thomas Advisory Services, LLC manages roughly $1.77 billion and provides wealth management to individuals, families, businesses, and retirement plans, offering portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement-plan consulting. The firm serves both discretionary and non-discretionary clients and implements investment programs through separately managed account platforms, its proprietary LTAS Managed Index Program, and passive index strategies using outside providers.

LTAS’s investment approach is grounded in modern portfolio theory and emphasizes globally diversified allocations informed by fundamental security analysis, market trend, and economic cycle analysis. The firm also operates proprietary index-enhanced portfolios designed to outperform benchmarks and aims to tailor portfolios to individual tax and investment considerations while seeking to lower fees and transaction costs.

Distinctive features include a relatively large client load—approximately 1,268 clients served by 12 advisors—resulting in a higher client-to-advisor ratio than many multi-team peers, and the firm’s historical use of hypothetical performance in marketing, which led to an SEC censure and fine in September 2023 for deficiencies in its marketing policies and procedures. LTAS is affiliated with an in-house broker-dealer, may share fees with third-party managers, and acts as a wrap program sponsor or manager in some instances, conflicts the firm discloses and seeks to manage through its code of ethics and supervisory processes.

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
