About

Lucas Group Financial Advisors provides discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, and employee benefit plan advisory services to individuals, trusts, small businesses, foundations and brokerage customers. The firm serves both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth clients and, like many team firms, generally charges percentage‑of‑assets fees and delivers portfolio management alongside standalone financial planning.

The firm follows a long‑term Modern Portfolio Theory approach, favoring diversified, passive and evidence‑based mutual funds and ETFs (including use of Dimensional funds) and documented investment policy statements. LGFA uses model portfolios and engages third‑party sub‑advisers (Focus Partners/FPAS and SEI) for discretionary portfolio and fixed‑income management, with regular reviews and rebalancing tied to client goals.

LGFA is notable for its uncommon industry relationships: it is affiliated with an accounting firm and coordinates referrals and tax‑preparation implementation with that affiliate, and in certain cases will directly arrange payment to the accounting affiliate on a client’s behalf. Several of the firm’s representatives are licensed to sell insurance and may receive commissions on insurance or annuity recommendations, an arrangement the brochure discloses as a potential conflict 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
