Founders Financial Securities LLC

Founders Financial Securities serves a broad range of clients — including individual and high‑net‑worth investors, retirement plans, charitable organizations, and corporate clients — through a network of registered investment adviser representatives. The firm provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, access to third‑party asset managers, financial planning and retirement consulting, 1031 exchange consulting, and affiliated brokerage and insurance services.

Investment approaches are determined at the adviser level and implemented across several firm programs, including the Independence Advisory platform, a Managed Portfolio Program, and the Freedom Capital Management Strategies (FCMS) suite, which combine mutual funds, ETFs, model allocations, and sub‑advised strategies. The firm also offers fiduciary retirement plan services, participant education, and options to manage held‑away 401(k) accounts via third‑party platforms, with ongoing monitoring and rebalancing where authorized.

What is noteworthy relative to many enterprise peers is FFS’s use of non‑traditional delivery methods: it operates a subscription‑based retirement education and asset allocation service for held‑away retirement accounts and a co‑advised Private Wealth Solutions program that pairs the firm with an unaffiliated sub‑advisor to build customized stock and bond portfolios for affluent households. The firm also relies on model delivery and custom portfolio sub‑advisory relationships (including arrangements with Orion and other third‑party managers) and combines advisory, broker‑dealer, and insurance capabilities within its platform.
