About

M Holdings Securities, Inc. serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), retirement plans, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities through a nationwide network of independent Member Firms and Financial Professionals. The firm offers a broad mix of advisory and brokerage services described in its brochure, including discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management (wrap programs such as WealthPursuit and the M Wealth MPP wrap), retirement plan consulting, financial planning, insurance advisory for VA/VUL and PPI products, and sub‑advisory/TPAM arrangements.

M Holdings collects client information (assets, risk tolerance, time horizon, tax considerations) to make suitability‑based recommendations and generally provides ongoing monitoring and at least annual reviews; advisory authority may be discretionary in many of its programs. Investment management is delivered both by Financial Professionals acting as portfolio managers and by selecting and overseeing third‑party sub‑advisors and model portfolios (including affiliated sub‑advisor M Wealth), and the firm uses platform providers (for example Envestnet) and custodial arrangements to support trading, reporting, and fee billing.

The firm’s brochure highlights several features that distinguish it from many peers: it operates as both an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a FINRA‑member broker‑dealer (including acting as distributor for affiliated M Funds and as an introducing broker‑dealer), it participates in co‑advisory and promoter/solicitor relationships with other RIAs, and it provides period account updates and access to publications and practice‑management materials for Financial Professionals. The brochure also discloses the resulting conflicts of interest from revenue‑sharing, promoter fees, and proprietary affiliations, and it discloses prior SEC and FINRA regulatory matters.

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
