About
Hickory Financial Group, LLC is a state-registered, single-advisor independent investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management and related advisory services to individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses. The firm requires a minimum account for portfolio management and can manage accounts on either a discretionary or, in limited cases, non-discretionary basis.
HFG’s primary strategy is equity-oriented, typically employing a mix of sector- and factor-weighted ETFs and individual stocks, while also providing guidance on mutual funds, options strategies, and investments in limited partnerships on request. The firm combines fundamental and technical analysis (including charting and cyclical methods), monitors portfolios continuously, and rebalances as market conditions change; clients may impose reasonable written restrictions on investments.
Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that associated persons are licensed insurance agents who may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, which the firm identifies as a potential conflict of interest. The firm recommends TD Ameritrade Institutional as its custodian and receives technology and research support through that relationship, does not accept performance-based fees, does not vote client proxies, and notes that its equity-driven portfolios are not tailored to the individual needs of any end client.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
