Huntington Financial Advisors (HFA) provides investment advisory services through various wrap fee programs. HFA works with financial advisors to help clients determine their investment objectives and risk tolerance, then recommends an investment strategy. Clients can choose from affiliated and unaffiliated money managers. HFA monitors accounts and rebalances them as needed. HFA has a conflict of interest because its parent company benefits more when affiliated managers are selected.
