About

Summit Investment Advisory Services provides portfolio management and financial planning to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, offering both discretionary and non‑discretionary account management. The firm delivers advisory services through its own managed accounts and by participating in several LPL Financial‑sponsored advisory programs.

SIAS documents client objectives in an Investment Policy Statement and employs a mix of analytical approaches — including fundamental, technical, quantitative analysis and modern portfolio theory — with strategies that range from long‑term investing to short‑term trading and options. The firm states it acts under fiduciary obligations, seeks fair allocation of investment opportunities among clients, and conducts periodic reviews with quarterly reporting.

Distinctive features in the brochure include SIAS’s sponsorship of a proprietary wrap fee program and its participation in multiple LPL wrap/advisory programs, combined with a hybrid operating model in which its advisors are registered representatives who may receive commission‑based compensation for certain product sales. The firm also manages a comparatively large client load per advisor (roughly 270 clients per advisor based on the reported counts) and directs readers to third‑party regulatory disclosures on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website for additional information.

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
