Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Financial Elements, Inc. is an independent registered investment adviser focused on serving individuals, families and a limited set of institutional clients. The firm’s advisory work centers on financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, using a fee model that combines a percentage of assets under management with the option of hourly or fixed fees for planning engagements. Financial Elements shows a clear preference for equity exposure within client portfolios, favoring exchange‑traded instruments for core holdings, and manages virtually all of its client assets on a discretionary basis. The firm does not position itself as an ESG investor and operates as a single‑state adviser rather than a multi‑state platform. Ownership is held by an individual, and the business structure is a corporation operating as an independent RIA. Custody and trade execution are handled predominantly through one major custodian, which supports the firm’s model of consolidated reporting and centralized asset servicing.
