About

Halter Ferguson Financial is a fee‑only advisory firm that provides financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals, families, small businesses, trusts, charitable organizations, and profit‑sharing plans. The firm also acts as adviser to a private investment fund and uses a third‑party platform to aggregate and monitor held‑away retirement and HSA accounts for clients.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes fundamental analysis and regular market‑sentiment monitoring to construct strategic asset allocations codified in an Investment Policy Statement, and it implements those allocations using mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, separate account managers and third‑party managers. For a limited group of clients with concentrated holdings, the firm runs a labeled program that selectively employs options (including covered calls) and other derivative strategies to manage concentrated exposures.

Several features described in the brochure are uncommon for similarly sized team firms: the adviser is an owner of an affiliate that organizes and for which it serves as investment adviser to a private fund (with performance‑based compensation at the fund level) and an employee holds an ownership interest in another exempt reporting adviser. The brochure also discloses the firm’s use of endorsements and third‑party ratings in advertising and highlights its reliance on custodians that provide institutional support services and technology for held‑away accounts and third‑party manager selection.
