Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Ascent Financial Group is an independent registered investment adviser organized as a limited liability company and owned by an individual principal. The firm focuses on financial planning and discretionary portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, and it also serves as a capital allocator by selecting third‑party managers for clients. Fee billing is percentage of assets under management, and the client base is primarily individual and family households. Investment preferences skew toward equities — the adviser lists exchange‑traded equities as its primary asset type — and the firm supplements core equity exposure with mutual funds and annuity solutions when appropriate. Ascent engages outside managers for alternative exposure, with a clear allocation pathway into real estate strategies. The firm is not positioned as an ESG active investor and is not registered as a multi‑state adviser.
