About

TLG Advisors, Inc. serves a broad client base that includes individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, charitable organizations, corporations, pension and retirement plans, and other institutional investors. The firm provides investment supervisory services, portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning, and investment fiduciary services for ERISA-qualified retirement plans through a network of independent investment advisor representatives and sub‑advisors.

The firm’s investment process centers on manager selection and ongoing monitoring, using fundamental analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory to construct diversified portfolios; many client accounts are managed through sub‑advisors and program platforms. TLG also offers a direct-to-consumer digital program, Starlight Portfolios, which allocates across six to 12 risk classes and three fund management styles based on a risk questionnaire, with quarterly portfolio reviews and tactical adjustments as market conditions dictate.

What distinguishes TLG from many peers is its web of corporate affiliations and interfirm relationships disclosed in the brochure: it is owned by Simplicity Financial Marketing Holdings, shares personnel and arrangements with The Leaders Group broker‑dealer, and identifies several affiliated RIAs, broker‑dealers and insurance entities. The brochure also notes that some advisors may be related to law firms or other financial firms, that the firm may select and compensate other advisors via referral or solicitor arrangements, and that it works with a range of institutional counterparties beyond typical retail clients.

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
