About

W&S Brokerage Services, Inc. is a dually-registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment adviser affiliated with Western & Southern Financial Group. It offers the W&S Wealth Solutions wrap fee asset-allocation program—built from 25 model portfolios invested in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, ETFs and money market funds—and also provides brokerage distribution and insurance-agent services to individuals, trusts, retirement plans and other entities.

The firm uses a model-driven, discretionary allocation process administered with an affiliated sub-adviser, Fort Washington Investment Advisors, that maps clients to one of five risk profiles and five investment objectives (including Socially Conscious, Tax Aware and EnFocus). Portfolios are monitored at least quarterly and rebalanced to target bands (±2.5% generally, ±5% for Tax Aware), and the program includes specific tax-aware practices such as using ETFs to bridge accounts funded late in the year and a client-directed tax-loss harvesting process in November–December.

W&SBS’s structure combines uncommon features for an investment manager: it both sponsors a wrap-fee program and operates in a broker-dealer capacity while its advisors also hold insurance licenses and sell affiliated Touchstone mutual funds, reflecting its ownership by an insurance group. The firm’s use of affiliated sub-advisers and proprietary funds, its compensation and referral arrangements between advisory and brokerage roles, and its operation through an extensive branch network distinguish its business model from many peers.

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
