Laurel Financial Group Inc

Laurel Financial Group works with individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), small businesses, business owners, corporate pension and profit‑sharing plans, and trusts to provide investment management and comprehensive financial planning. Services described in the brochure include retirement planning, estate analysis, cash‑flow and tax‑aware planning, and advisors are also licensed to offer insurance products in addition to advisory services.

The firm acts as a fiduciary and manages client accounts on a discretionary basis, using traditional asset allocation and diversification strategies and selecting investments from stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs and alternatives based on each client’s goals and risk profile. As with many team‑based practices, Laurel performs ongoing account monitoring and delivers performance reporting through its clearing and custodian relationships, and its advisory accounts are implemented on the firm’s broker‑dealer platform.

Distinctive operational details include a long track record (established in 1987) and a dual registration model: advisors are registered representatives of a broker‑dealer and hold insurance licenses, which means they may transact commission‑based products as well as provide fee‑based advice—a potential source of conflicts disclosed in the brochure. The firm also notes it does not vote client proxies, may be deemed to have custody in certain circumstances via standing authorizations, and its staff hold a range of professional credentials (CFP, AIF, RICP, RFC) referenced in the disclosure.
