About

Rockefeller Financial LLC serves high‑net‑worth and ultra‑high‑net‑worth individuals, families and family offices as well as institutional clients, retirement plans, foundations and corporations. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, and — unusually for an enterprise adviser — operates as a registered broker‑dealer that effects securities transactions, sells variable insurance products and provides placement and investment banking services.

The firm organizes client relationships around a Private Advisor model and a consolidated investment platform (Rockefeller Global Investment Management, or RGIM) that delivers discretionary, non‑discretionary and model‑delivery solutions across equities, fixed income and alternatives. Clients may receive direct portfolio management, access to third‑party managers, wrap‑fee programs and personalized managed account services (including the Rockefeller Personalized Portfolios), and the firm also serves as a sub‑advisor or provides model and consulting services where appropriate.

Distinctive features noted in the brochure include the firm’s broker‑dealer registration and its active role in placing alternative investment vehicles — creating arrangements that generate placement, servicing and occasional performance fees — as well as an integrated set of affiliated capabilities (trust and insurance services and an asset management platform). The brochure also documents a recent recapitalization and outside equity ownership (with Viking identified as a principal investor), which the firm says affects governance, affiliations and related disclosures about product availability and potential conflicts of interest.

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
