About

RFG Advisory provides investment advisory and planning services to a broad client mix that includes individual and high‑net‑worth investors, retirement plans and plan participants, and select institutional clients such as investment companies and state or municipal government entities. Services described in the brochure include discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, retirement plan consulting, referrals to third‑party money managers, sub‑advisory services to exchange‑traded funds, and access to alternative investments and annuity platforms.

The firm’s investment delivery is primarily discretionary and leverages a range of model strategies and third‑party platforms: firm‑managed Bluemonte model portfolios (ETF and mutual‑fund based), direct indexing, SMArtX and other manager marketplaces, and participant‑facing retirement technology such as Pontera and Aspire for employer‑sponsored accounts. RFG also conducts ongoing supervisory and compliance oversight of affiliated and third‑party managers and states its role as an ERISA fiduciary when advising retirement accounts or plan sponsors.

Several features in the brochure distinguish RFG from many multi‑team peers: it acts as sub‑adviser to multiple Bluemonte ETFs and may invest client assets in those funds, it expressly serves investment company clients and state/municipal clients (both noted as less common among peers), and many advisors on the platform are also licensed to sell insurance products and use annuity management platforms. The firm further offers curated access to private and structured investments through providers such as iCapital/CAIS, supports 10b5‑1 trading plans and consolidates various services via custodial relationships and platform arrangements, with disclosures in the brochure about resulting conflicts and mitigation practices.

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
