About

Pinnacle Investments, LLC provides investment advisory and brokerage services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. Services described in the brochure include financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, wrap‑fee programs, and access to third‑party managers through firm platforms such as AdvisorPro and affiliated sub‑advisor arrangements.

The firm’s advisers employ both fundamental and technical analysis and may implement strategies ranging from long‑term holdings to short‑term trading, option strategies, margin transactions and short sales; portfolios can include equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds, hedge funds, ABS, private placements and real‑estate interests. Financial planning is treated as a distinct, CFP‑aligned process using approved third‑party software, and Pinnacle conducts supervisory reviews at account onboarding and on a periodic basis for ongoing suitability.

What distinguishes Pinnacle from many enterprise peers is its dual role as a registered investment adviser and a registered broker‑dealer/registered representative that sells other financial products, its use of affiliated sub‑advisory capabilities through Pinnacle Capital Management (including distribution of the 1789 mutual fund), and its custodial and clearing relationships (including a notable upfront clearing award and arrangements that generate margin‑related and other compensation). The brochure also discloses a history of regulatory enforcement matters — including FINRA censures and fines and a California insurance licensing settlement — and describes the firm’s disclosure and supervisory controls intended to manage related conflicts of interest.
