Frequently asked questions
Is First Financial Advisory Services registered with the SEC?
Yes. The firm appears in SEC investment adviser registration records. Registration requires filing Form ADV, which discloses the firm's ownership, client types, assets under management, fee schedules, and any disciplinary events. Institutional allocators can retrieve these filings directly from the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website. Registration confirms fiduciary status and subjects the firm to periodic SEC examination.
Does First Financial Advisory Services manage assets for institutions or individuals?
That information would be disclosed in Part 1 of the firm's Form ADV, filed with the SEC. The ADV categorizes clients by type — individuals, high-net-worth individuals, pension plans, pooled investment vehicles, and others. Without pulling the current ADV filing, we cannot confirm the client mix.
How can an allocator verify this firm's AUM and strategy?
The firm's Form ADV Part 1 reports discrete AUM within SEC-designated bands. Part 2A, the firm's brochure, describes investment strategies, risk profiles, and fee structures. Both are public documents retrievable through the SEC's IAPD portal. Direct inquiry with the firm is also advisable for any strategy-level detail.
Does the firm have any disclosed disciplinary events?
An SEC-registered firm must disclose any criminal, regulatory, or civil judicial actions against the firm or its advisory personnel in its Form ADV. These appear in the disciplinary disclosure section. We have not independently reviewed the firm's current ADV filing to confirm or deny the existence of any such events.
Is First Financial Advisory Services related to any larger financial institution?
Based on publicly available SEC registration records, there is no structural indication that the firm is a subsidiary or affiliate of a larger banking, insurance, or asset-management entity. The ownership structure would be detailed in Schedule A of its Form ADV.
