About

Leverty Financial Group, LLC is a SEC‑registered investment adviser that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), small businesses, employer‑sponsored retirement plans, and non‑profit organizations. The firm offers discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, retirement plan advisory and fiduciary services, and may recommend or oversee third‑party money managers and sub‑advisers.

The firm tailors advice to each client’s objectives and may rely on model portfolios, third‑party sub‑advisers, and separately managed account strategies; it generally seeks discretionary authority but can provide non‑discretionary services on request. The brochure describes operational practices such as using Pershing for custody, using an outside vendor to view, rebalance, and implement strategies in “held‑away” accounts (401(k)s, HSAs, 403(b)s, 529s), and monitoring or replacing sub‑advisers without prior client approval.

Noteworthy distinctions include disclosure that the firm advertises third‑party ratings in its materials (an uncommon practice among similar team firms) and an explicit statement in Item 8 that the firm may employ margin transactions (borrowing) and explains margin‑call risk. The brochure also notes that the firm shares a portion of its advisory fees with the outside vendor that supports held‑away account management and maintains affiliated entities (LFG Risk Services LLC and LFG Tax, LLC), relationships that may create additional conflicts of interest for clients to consider.
