About

CreativeOne Securities, LLC (C1S) is a registered investment adviser that also operates as a FINRA/SIPC-member broker-dealer. The firm provides financial planning, consulting, retirement-plan services (including ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) offerings) and discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporate and plan sponsors, overseeing roughly $2.54 billion in regulatory assets across its advisory programs.

C1S combines individualized written planning and consulting with model-driven discretionary programs, including its Client Choice service and access to the affiliated CreativeOne Wealth, LLC platform; portfolio construction uses fundamental and cyclical analysis, model rebalancing, and custodial relationships (Schwab) for execution and reporting. The firm also refers clients to third-party managers, supports separately managed accounts and participant-level management, and typically grants representatives discretionary authority where agreed.

Distinctive features include its dual role as an adviser and broker-dealer and common control with Creative One Marketing Corporation and the affiliated CreativeOne Wealth, LLC platform, which results in fee- and commission-sharing arrangements (including insurance and annuity commissions and platform fee splits). These revenue relationships and referral arrangements are disclosed as potential conflicts of interest, and the firm has a prior SEC administrative order (self-reported) relating to mutual fund share-class selection resolved in 2019.
