About

Benjamin Securities, Inc. provides investment advice and brokerage services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts, businesses, foundations, and retirement plans. The firm manages individually tailored accounts through portfolio management, traditional brokerage cash and margin accounts, separately managed accounts, covered call writing programs, and performance fee–based arrangements.

The firm’s investment process uses fundamental and cyclical analysis to identify opportunities, and it generally pursues a long-term strategy while employing short-term tactics for covered-call programs and performance-fee mandates. Benjamin Securities offers both discretionary and non-discretionary management, customizes accounts for tax and socially conscious restrictions, and keeps client assets individually managed rather than commingled.

Notably, the firm is dually registered as an SEC-registered investment adviser and a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and operates a correspondent relationship with a major clearing firm while also custodially using Interactive Brokers—an affiliation structure that is uncommon for peers. It receives research and software through its clearing relationship and participates in a money-market sweep revenue-sharing arrangement that reduces client sweep interest (creating a potential conflict of interest), and it conducts daily reviews for covered-call advisory accounts and monthly comprehensive reviews.

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.
