About

Wilmington Capital Securities, LLC provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pensions and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and business entities. The firm delivers fee‑based advisory services via custodial platforms including Charles Schwab, RBC Correspondent Services and Interactive Brokers, and also offers hourly and fixed‑fee planning arrangements in addition to percentage‑of‑AUM management fees.

WCS describes a tactical allocation approach that uses fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and may employ equities, mutual funds, fixed‑income, options and cash positions to manage risk and pursue performance; portfolios are customized to client objectives and may include client‑imposed restrictions. The firm provides portfolio management within wrap‑fee programs sponsored by its clearing firm and does not maintain custody of client assets, relying on third‑party custodians for account custody and reporting.

What distinguishes WCS from most teams is that it is also a FINRA‑registered broker‑dealer operating a retail brokerage and investment banking business, and its associated persons are registered representatives who may sell securities and insurance products on a per‑contract basis, which the brochure discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm’s regulatory history includes public disclosure events (FINRA and state actions and a registered‑representative sanction in 2011–2022), and WCS identifies specific controls such as instructing clearing firms to rebate certain 12b‑1 fees, monitoring sweep interest arrangements, and supervisory procedures to address 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
