About

Equitable Advisors advises individuals (including non‑HNW and high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations, charitable organizations and other institutional clients, offering financial planning, retirement plan consulting, and a range of asset‑management programs. Its services are delivered through a network of Investment Adviser Representatives (IARs) and include firm‑offered programs (notably the SAM program) as well as referrals to third‑party asset managers and LPL‑sponsored advisory programs.

The firm’s client work is built around gathering personal and plan information, assessing risk tolerance, and matching clients to program models or discretionary managers; many advisory models are implemented by third‑party TAMPs or LPL (OMP, MWP, PWP, Manager Select) while certain IARs act as portfolio advisors within SAM and, with client consent, may exercise discretion. Equitable’s advice and implementation tools cover mutual funds (including affiliate 1290 Funds and AllianceBernstein funds), ETFs, separately managed accounts, and select alternative investments such as non‑traded REITs and BDCs, and it provides ERISA fiduciary services to qualified plans through credentialed IARs.

Noteworthy distinctions for this firm include that it does not sponsor its own wrap fee program and does not advertise hypothetical performance, instead relying on third‑party program sponsors and endorsed TAMPs for most wrap‑style and model delivery. Its affiliation with a publicly traded parent, the announced merger of equals with Corebridge, and integration with affiliated asset managers and an insurance distribution affiliate affect its product availability and referral arrangements, which can result in the firm recommending both proprietary and third‑party solutions.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
