About

Thrive Capital Management advises individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, businesses and charitable organizations and provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, seminars, and access to private placement opportunities. The firm manages accounts using a mix of exchange‑traded funds, individual securities and third‑party money managers, and offers one‑time and ongoing planning and educational services.

Thrive constructs and monitors diversified model portfolios and applies fundamental analysis as part of its investment process, conducting formal quarterly reviews and rebalancing when models change. The firm also uses a third‑party sub‑advisor (AE Wealth Management) and may engage other unaffiliated managers to tailor strategies and enhance diversification for clients.

Distinctive aspects noted in the brochure include a disclosed regulatory consent agreement involving a member of management dating to 2017, and the fact that many investment adviser representatives are dually registered as insurance agents and may sell commission‑based insurance products (including through an IMO, Advisors Excel); the brochure states these dual roles and related marketing/incentive arrangements are supervised and disclosed. The firm also notes it receives non‑cash support from custodians and third parties to support its services and discloses the use of testimonials in its advertising.

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
