About

The Pinnacle Financial Group provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting (including ongoing consulting to 401(k) and other employee benefit plans), and may direct clients to third‑party money managers. Its client base, as described in the brochure, includes individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, charitable organizations, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and corporations or business entities.

The firm documents client objectives and constraints in an Investment Policy Statement and applies fundamental analysis alongside both long‑term and short‑term trading strategies, with accounts generally managed on a discretionary basis and subject to regular portfolio monitoring. TPFG typically implements portfolios using mutual funds, equities, bonds, ETFs, REITs, insurance products and options, and may use alternative and structured investments where appropriate.

TPFG discloses that several of its investment adviser representatives are dually registered as registered representatives of LPL Financial, and the brochure describes platform benefits, transition assistance and related conflicts of interest as well as limits LPL may place on recommended securities. The firm also notes arrangements that are less common among peers — including serving business development company and other business‑entity clients and participating in wrap programs and fee‑sharing arrangements with third‑party managers — all of which are addressed in its regulatory disclosures.

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
