SWS Advisors, Inc. has been in business since 2008 and manages investment portfolios and financial plans for individuals, corporations, and charitable organizations. SWS Advisors offers discretionary portfolio management, where human advisors make trades based on each client's specific goals, risk tolerance, and tax situation. The firm also provides holistic financial planning covering retirement, taxes, insurance, and estate planning, as well as project-based or hourly advice. SWS Advisors uses fundamental and technical analysis for long-term and short-term investing. The firm has affiliated companies including a life insurance agency and a broker-dealer, which presents potential conflicts of interest when recommendations involve products from those affiliates, though clients are never required to use them.
