About

Mollot & Hardy advises individuals (including high-net-worth clients) and retirement plan sponsors, providing investment management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting and management services. The firm’s services include ongoing portfolio supervision, written financial plans, fiduciary consulting and discretionary fiduciary management for qualified plans, and participant education offerings.

The firm typically constructs diversified portfolios using mutual funds and ETFs, emphasizes asset allocation and periodic rebalancing, and tailors recommendations through one-on-one interviews and questionnaires; clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions and Mollot & Hardy can select sub‑advisers or model strategies on their behalf. Account custody and trading are routed through Pershing via the Focus Partners platform and Osaic Wealth relationships, with the firm monitoring sub‑advisers and providing regular performance reporting to clients.

Mollot & Hardy is a small advisory team that discloses several less-common features: it advertises third‑party ratings and operates on a bundled fee basis that includes platform, sub‑adviser and broker/dealer components (a wrap‑style arrangement reflected in its blended fee disclosures). The firm also provides educational seminars and participant enrollment support through its retirement services, and its representatives act in separate capacities as registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, which the brochure discloses can create commission-related 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.

Discover

Compare top advisor firms by metric, firm size, and location.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
