About

Sovran Advisors serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporations and other business clients, and retirement plan sponsors, providing financial planning, ongoing advisory relationships, and both discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management across multiple program types. The firm offers retirement plan consulting and the ability to allocate assets to third-party managers or manage assets within advisory annuity contracts.

The firm’s advisors work from written investment policy statements and may implement strategies created by the advisor, by Sovran’s internal Portfolio Models, or by third‑party strategists through unified managed account platforms, with technology-supported rebalancing and administrative services. Sovran uses a mix of active and passive exposures and may include mutual funds, ETFs, alternatives, and derivatives as part of its managed solutions depending on client objectives.

Noteworthy for an enterprise firm, Sovran was recently established yet operates at scale with over fifty advisors and nearly $1.9 billion in assets under management and a material amount of assets under advisement. The firm’s principals hold ownership interests in affiliated insurance and business‑service companies, and many advisors maintain broker‑dealer registrations with an introducing broker‑dealer and access to multiple custodial platforms (including AssetMark and SEI partnerships); those relationships, including certain loan and platform arrangements, are disclosed by the firm as potential sources of referral or compensation conflicts.

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
