About

Synovus Securities, Inc. serves a broad client base that includes individual and high‑net‑worth investors as well as institutional clients such as banks, pension plans, corporations, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The firm offers both investment advisory and brokerage services — including separately managed accounts, mutual fund/ETF model portfolios, unified managed accounts, financial planning, variable insurance contract advice, and access to alternative investments through its managed account programs.

The firm delivers portfolio management through a mix of discretionary and non‑discretionary programs on the Envestnet platform, using a client risk‑tolerance questionnaire to guide asset allocation and manager selection and applying internal and Envestnet due‑diligence processes to evaluate managers. SSI also refers clients to outside money managers, provides educational services for ERISA plans, and makes certain alternative and private offerings available only to accredited or otherwise qualified investors.

Noteworthy distinctions include its affiliation with Pinnacle Financial Partners (effective January 1, 2026) and related access to Pinnacle Bank and Synovus Trust Company, which enable a bank sweep program and occasional custody referrals; these relationships create additional revenue streams and potential conflicts that are disclosed in the brochure. The firm operates as a dually‑registered broker‑dealer and insurance licensee — retaining the ability to execute commission business and sell insurance and variable products — and has a recent FINRA disciplinary disposition (an Acceptance, Waiver and Consent related to supervisory failures, resulting in a fine) disclosed in Item 9 of its brochure.

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
