About
SBL Investment Advisors, LLC provides advisory services to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients and maintains a very small client roster. The firm does not manage client assets directly; instead it recommends third‑party investment managers and assists clients with enrollment, paperwork and ongoing liaison services, and it also offers insurance products through its licensed insurance activities.
After gathering clients’ financial information and objectives, SBL assesses suitability and recommends one or more third‑party managers, monitors their performance, and reviews quarterly statements on behalf of clients; custody and billing are handled by the selected managers or custodians. The firm generally operates in a non‑discretionary capacity, does not execute trades for client accounts itself, and does not vote client proxies.
Distinctive aspects include an affiliated insurance practice in which the firm’s principal spends the majority of their time and through which he receives commission income, and the firm’s receipt of referral/solicitor fees from recommended third‑party managers—each disclosed as potential conflicts of interest. Unlike many independent advisors, SBL does not provide direct portfolio management for individuals, does not charge a direct percentage‑of‑AUM fee itself, and does not carry professional liability insurance.

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.
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
