Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Ascent Advisors is an independent RIA organized as an LLC and registered with the SEC in 2025. The firm serves both individual/family and institutional clients and bills through a mix of asset-based fees, hourly charges, and fixed fees. Its advisory offering includes financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses as well as for businesses or institutions, and it lists pension consulting among its services. At the same time, Ascent notes it is not a pension consultant for registration purposes and does not operate as a capital allocator. The firm also conducts insurance and other financial-product brokerage activity, which aligns with its use of annuities in client portfolios. Ascent is a newly formed, single-state adviser and does not describe itself as an active ESG investor.
