About

Goldstone Financial Group is a multi‑team, SEC‑registered investment adviser managing roughly $1.05 billion across about 1,675 individual and high‑net‑worth client relationships through 13 advisors. The firm provides ongoing discretionary portfolio management, financial planning (one‑time or hourly), wrap fee programs, and offers access to sub‑advisers and third‑party model portfolios.

Goldstone creates individualized investment policy statements and implements strategies that use mutual funds, ETFs (including precious‑metal ETFs), fixed income and select alternative vehicles; some models accessible through sub‑advisers employ tactical, hedged equity and high‑yield approaches and may use options or margin. Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis with formal reviews at least annually and Goldstone typically exercises discretionary trading authority for day‑to‑day portfolio decisions.

The brochure discloses several features that set Goldstone apart from many peers: it uses client testimonials in its advertising, its financial professionals devote a substantial portion of their time to recommending and selling insurance and annuity products through a third‑party IMO, and the firm reports affiliate relationships tied to that network. The firm also disclosed a 2022 SEC enforcement order concerning the sale of an unregistered investment and describes remediation steps taken, including returning referral fees, engaging independent compliance review, hiring additional compliance personnel, and creating a formal due‑diligence committee.
