About

Maxim Financial Advisors LLC provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment supervisory services and referrals to third‑party managers for individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, retirement accounts and other business entities. In addition to serving retail and high‑net‑worth individuals, the firm also reports relationships with less common client types for its peer group, including sovereign wealth funds, banking and thrift institutions, insurance companies, state and municipal governments, and other investment advisers.

The firm’s Investment Advisor Representatives customize advice based on client interviews and may manage accounts themselves or place assets into Envestnet SMA/UMA programs, wrap and non‑wrap platforms, third‑party sub‑advisers, or customized hedge fund portfolios structured by Crystal Capital Partners. Investment strategies combine mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed income, options, and active reallocation, with reliance on both the representatives’ individual styles and third‑party research and model providers.

Maxim is affiliated with broker‑dealer Maxim Group LLC, and its representatives are dually registered, which the brochure identifies as a potential conflict of interest and explains is addressed through disclosure and supervisory procedures; the firm also has custody relationships because of its broker‑dealer affiliation and the ability to withdraw fees from client accounts. The firm does not offer a standalone financial planning service (an uncommon feature among similar multi‑team firms), and some Investment Advisor Representatives have material disciplinary events disclosed in their individual brochure supplements.
