About

Primerica Advisors is the sponsor and discretionary portfolio manager of a wrap-fee asset management program that serves primarily individual investors (including both non-HNW and high-net-worth clients), as well as corporate and charitable clients. The firm operates at scale — roughly 3,698 financial advisors, about 1,829 offices, and approximately $15.5 billion in AUM — and delivers advisory services through advisors who collect client information and present model recommendations.

The Program relies largely on model-delivery strategies created and managed by unaffiliated asset managers, with a limited number of discretionary separately managed account options; an overlay manager (BNY Mellon Advisors) and Pershing custody/clearing support trade execution and account custody. Models span strategic, tactical, tax-managed and income-distribution approaches and the brochure discloses recently added models that allocate to exchange-traded funds investing in cryptocurrency; advisory arrangements are billed as percentage-of-AUM rather than on a fixed-fee basis.

Compared with many large institutional advisers, Primerica does not provide portfolio management for institutional clients, does not serve pension or profit‑sharing plan clients, and does not offer a formal “selection of other advisers” service for clients — features that the firm’s disclosure highlights as absent. The firm also discloses several program-specific operational features and conflicts (use of third‑party due diligence, certain proprietary fund limitations through its broker‑dealer, an exclusion of parent-company stock from Program accounts, and compensation arrangements tied to wrap fees and asset managers) that distinguish its program governance and product availability from some peers.

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
