About

Verity Asset Management is an SEC‑registered, multi‑team advisory firm overseeing roughly $1.15 billion with a 55‑adviser roster and serving individuals (both non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth), retirement plan sponsors and participants, institutional clients, and other registered investment advisers. It offers discretionary model portfolio management, individual portfolio management, retirement plan consulting and implementation, sub‑advisory/third‑party manager services, and related financial planning and monitoring services.

The firm’s investment process is largely model‑based, emphasizing tactical asset allocation across a broad set of asset classes and instruments (including mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, and hedging/short positions) and implementing both internally managed specialty strategies (e.g., Concentrated Rotation, Small/MidCap Value, Opportunistic Income, and a High Income model limited to accredited investors) and models managed by outside managers. Verity customizes model lineups for retirement platform constraints and monitors suitability and rebalancing centrally, acting as a manager‑of‑managers when it selects third‑party models for client platforms.

Notable distinctions in the brochure include Verity’s role as investment adviser to its proprietary Verity U.S. Treasury Fund (a disclosed potential conflict when that fund is used in client accounts) and its provision of portfolio management to investment companies and other advisers via sub‑advisory arrangements — services that are less common among similarly sized multi‑team firms. The firm also discloses recent material events and oversight steps, including a July 1, 2025 change in parent ownership (acquisition by Simplicity Financial Marketing Holdings, Inc.) and a consulting agreement with Meeder Investment Management to support certain workplace retirement models, with stated mitigation and disclosure measures for resulting conflicts.

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
