About

UBS Financial Services Inc. serves individual, corporate and institutional clients through a combination of brokerage and investment advisory offerings, including fee-based financial planning, discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, wrap fee programs and distribution of mutual funds and alternative products. The firm is registered as a broker‑dealer, an investment adviser and a futures commission merchant and also provides custody, underwriting and other capital markets services through its platform.

Advisory work is delivered through a network of Financial Advisors who use proprietary capital market assumptions, model-based asset allocations and research from the Chief Investment Office and UBS Global Research (INV Research) to tailor plans and probabilistic analyses to clients’ stated goals and risk tolerances. When engaged for fee‑based Financial Planning Services the firm acts in a fiduciary capacity and discloses and monitors relevant conflicts such as revenue sharing, sweep arrangements and the firm’s trading practices.

Compared with many peers, UBS combines institutional trading capabilities with wealth management services: it operates as a futures commission merchant, conducts principal trading and market‑making (including markups/markdowns and underwriting activity) and uses internal pricing practices that are less common among large advisory institutions. The firm also distributes proprietary periodic research and maintains affiliated banking and securities‑backed lending programs and data‑analytics (Strategic Insights) arrangements with product providers, all of which broaden its service set and are disclosed in its Form ADV.

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
