About

Pinnacle Investments, LLC is a multi‑team advisory firm managing over $1.2 billion through roughly 57 advisors and serving individuals, retirement plans, trusts, estates and other institutional clients. The firm offers financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, wrap‑fee programs, selection of third‑party managers and advisory consultations, and also engages in broker‑dealer and insurance product sales.

Client engagements begin with an initial meeting to establish objectives and constraints, and investment programs are tailored using both fundamental and technical analysis; permitted strategies include long and short equity positions, options, margin and short sales. Pinnacle operates on multiple custodial platforms (First Clearing and Charles Schwab), provides access to third‑party managers, and uses an affiliated sub‑adviser, Pinnacle Capital Management, as a sub‑advisor within some managed account programs.

What distinguishes Pinnacle from many peers is its dual role as an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a registered broker‑dealer/registered representative with insurance licensing, its disclosure of third‑party promoter and employee referral arrangements, and material economic arrangements with custodians (including a $2.5 million upfront clearing extension award and margin compensation) that the firm says it manages through supervisory controls. The firm’s brochure also discloses recent regulatory matters and remedial actions, including a 2023 consent involving censure, monetary sanctions and disgorgement and a 2025 FINRA acceptance, waiver and consent addressing supervisory deficiencies.

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
