About

Money Concepts Advisory Service provides investment advisory, financial planning, and consulting services to a broad client mix that includes individual investors (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, and corporations. The firm operates as an enterprise-scale adviser managing roughly $4.07 billion in client assets through a network of several hundred advisors and multiple portfolio programs.

The firm uses model-driven and asset-allocation approaches (including modern portfolio theory), offering both discretionary and non-discretionary programs that range from proprietary model portfolios to sub-advised strategies; clients begin with an intake profile and are placed in programs that may be rebalanced or overseen on an ongoing basis. MCAS also makes regular use of third-party managers and service providers for trading, model management, and reporting, and discloses reliance on platforms such as Envestnet for back-office and model support.

Noteworthy for an enterprise adviser, MCAS operates alongside Money Concepts Capital Corp. as a registered broker-dealer and insurance general agency, and many of its investment adviser representatives are also registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, with commissions and insurance sales comprising a substantial portion of firm revenues. The dual adviser/broker-dealer structure means the firm receives economic benefits from clearing and custody relationships (including revenue sharing and distribution payments) and offers specialized services such as variable annuity management and an annuity-linking program, which distinguish it from peers that operate solely as fee-only advisory firms.

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
