About

Transamerica Financial Advisors serves a broad client base that includes individual investors (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. The firm offers both advisory and broker‑dealer services: fee‑based wrap programs and model portfolios (TFA365, Transamerica ONE, Transamerica ALPHA), access to third‑party money managers, and commission‑based insurance and brokerage products.

TFA delivers advice through a mix of proprietary model suites (including Transamerica I‑Series) and a range of third‑party model managers, with program choices that can be discretionary (managed on clients’ behalf) or non‑discretionary depending on the platform and manager. As of December 31, 2025, TFA reported roughly $1.66 billion in discretionary AUM and $443.5 million in non‑discretionary AUM, and client relationships are reviewed at least annually with program‑specific trading and custodial arrangements.

Compared with many large enterprise advisers, TFA is distinctive in operating concurrently as a registered broker‑dealer and as an RIA and in maintaining affiliated retirement and recordkeeping entities (e.g., Transamerica Retirement Solutions and related affiliates) that support plan clients. The firm also offers securities‑backed lending and a bank deposit sweep as platform features with disclosed revenue‑sharing arrangements, and it has been subject to SEC and FINRA enforcement settlements in the past decade related to share‑class disclosures, model issues, and supervisory matters.

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
