About

Tactive Advisors provides portfolio management to a mix of individual clients, trusts, businesses, employee benefit plans, and institutional investors, and also works with other registered investment advisers. Services are delivered through two primary offerings: the Tactive Robo‑Advisor (TRA) platform and an Advisor Advice service that places clients into structured model portfolios and, where appropriate, engages sub‑advisors.

The firm builds blended model portfolios using the Black‑Litterman asset allocation framework and generally implements a tactical asset allocation approach, combining mutual funds, ETFs and, occasionally, short positions or options to express views. Clients complete a risk tolerance questionnaire to determine placement in strategies; while Tactive typically has discretionary authority, it also manages a substantial portion of assets on a non‑discretionary basis (as of December 31, 2025, roughly $355 million discretionary and $263.6 million non‑discretionary of $619 million total AUM).

Tactive’s use of a TAMP and its role as a sub‑adviser to other advisers and institutional clients distinguishes it from many multi‑team peers, as does its sizable non‑discretionary book and hybrid service model combining robo and advisor‑led programs. Financial planning is available on a complimentary or fixed‑fee basis tied to advisory relationships rather than as a broad standalone offering, and the firm discloses use of third‑party sub‑advisers and model providers in client agreements.

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
