About

Sunbelt Securities, Inc. provides investment advisory and related services to individual (including high‑net‑worth) and institutional clients through a network of investment adviser representatives. Its principal offerings described in the brochure include the Sunbelt RD wrap‑fee program, standalone financial planning and referrals to third‑party money managers.

IARs gather client information such as risk tolerance and objectives, recommend and implement portfolio allocations (including discretionary authority within the Sunbelt RD program), and monitor and rebalance accounts as market conditions or client circumstances change. The brochure notes that IARs may employ a range of methods and strategies — fundamental, technical, tactical and strategic approaches — and that Sunbelt does not require a single uniform investment model across advisers.

The firm is dually registered as a broker‑dealer and an SEC‑registered investment adviser and is a member of FINRA, MSRB and SIPC; the brochure discloses that registered representatives may recommend commissionable products in their broker‑dealer capacity while IARs provide fee‑based advisory services, and that certain wrap accounts must be custodied at National Financial Services, Fidelity IWS or Charles Schwab — relationships that generate economic benefits to the firm and are disclosed as potential conflicts. The disclosure also describes solicitor arrangements with third‑party managers, a recent material change about paper‑statement charges at NFS, and states the firm has not been the subject of disciplinary events in the past ten years.

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
