About

LRI Investments, LLC provides financial planning, fee-based investment management, and retirement-plan consulting to individuals, high-net-worth clients, businesses, financial institutions, and certain state and municipal government entities. A team of 25 investment professionals manages approximately $2.78 billion across client accounts and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary services.

Portfolios are built around customized asset-allocation objectives that range from income with capital preservation to aggressive growth and generally emphasize mutual funds, ETFs and exchange‑traded equities with a long‑term orientation and regular (at least quarterly) reviews. The firm also manages held‑away retirement accounts using an order management link (Pontera) to implement portfolio adjustments and provides ongoing ERISA‑fiduciary retirement plan services, participant education, and enrollment support.

Noteworthy aspects include that LRI sponsors and serves as the portfolio manager for its own wrap‑fee program, consolidating trading and advisory services into a single program structure, and that it accepts state and municipal government clients—a comparatively uncommon client type for firms in its peer group. The firm discloses limited custody exposure in specific trustee arrangements and maintains registered‑representative and insurance affiliations, which are identified in the brochure as potential conflicts of interest.

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
