About

Mariner Managed Account Solutions (MMAS) provides fee‑based discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and wrap‑fee program services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporate pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, foundations, closely held and family businesses, and professional and non‑professional athletes. The firm implements portfolios that primarily use ETFs, ETNs, index funds, mutual funds, bond funds and individual fixed‑income securities, and it may incorporate independent managers where appropriate.

MMAS works with each client under a written Investment Policy Statement and offers model portfolios that span conservative to aggressive risk profiles, emphasizing asset allocation, downside protection, and active management of passive investments to control risk and dampen volatility. The firm operates under a co‑advisory arrangement with MML Investor Services (MMLIS), where MMLIS handles the initial and ongoing client relationship and suitability determinations while MMAS manages assets consistent with the signed IPS, and MMAS also distributes proprietary models via third‑party platforms such as Envestnet.

Noteworthy distinctions relative to many peers include MMAS’s integration into a broader Mariner enterprise — it discloses affiliations with a trust company, broker‑dealer entities, insurance and investment banking affiliates, and other registered advisers and fund sponsors — and its scale on a small advisor team (roughly $2.7 billion in discretionary AUM and about 3,500 clients served by six advisors). The firm is a wrap program sponsor, participates on multiple custody and model platforms, and discloses related‑party referral and product‑access arrangements that clients should consider when evaluating recommendations.

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
