Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Gradient Investments, LLC is a fee-based investment adviser and independent broker-dealer that has been SEC-registered since 2009 and operates as a limited liability company. The firm serves both individual and family clients as well as institutional investors, charging either a percentage of assets under management or fixed fees. Service lines shown on regulatory filings include discretionary portfolio management for individuals and businesses, pension consulting, and the selection of third‑party advisers. Gradient also lists affiliations across the financial services ecosystem—broker‑dealer relationships, other investment advisers, accounting, legal and insurance partners—which suggests a model that combines in‑house advice with outsourced capabilities. Two industry outlets recognized the firm in 2020: a Financial Times list of top RIA firms and a ranking published by Financial Advisor Magazine.
