About
Summit Financial, LLC is an SEC‑registered, multi‑team advisory firm with about $26.35 billion in assets under management, 216 advisors and roughly 17,800 clients. It provides investment advisory and portfolio management programs (including Summit Managed Portfolios, Strategic Asset Allocation, APM/FMA and third‑party manager platforms), financial planning, retirement plan advisory (3(21) and 3(38) services), access to alternative investments and variable annuities.
The firm operates a mix of discretionary and consultative services: the Investment Management Committee has discretionary authority over the Managed Portfolios, while programs such as SAA and the SEI Mutual Fund Portfolios are structured to require client approval for trades and emphasize advisor‑led monitoring. Financial Advisors may customize allocations using third‑party managers and unified platforms, and Summit supports held‑away retirement account management via a Pontera connection; advisors may also provide brokerage or insurance products through affiliated or unaffiliated firms.
Distinctive for a firm of its scale, Summit maintains a substantial non‑discretionary/consultative platform alongside its discretionary offerings, with explicit disclosures that many accounts require client trade approvals or are subject to outside monitoring. The brochure also discloses multiple ownership and referral relationships (including ties to Merchant entities, the Persimmon Long/Short Equity I Fund, bank referral arrangements with Waterfall and Fieldpoint, and LSS referral fees), which the firm identifies as potential conflicts addressed through disclosure and supervisory procedures.

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
