About

Kayne Anderson Rudnick provides discretionary investment management and sub‑advisory services to a mix of institutional and individual clients, including pension plans, insurers, banks, family offices, endowments, registered investment advisers, and high‑net‑worth individuals. The firm also manages and sub‑advises mutual funds, ETFs, UCITS, collective investment trusts, and model portfolios, and offers modular wealth advisory services and concentrated portfolio solutions.

KAR’s investment process emphasizes fundamental, company‑level research aimed at identifying high‑quality businesses with durable competitive advantages, and it incorporates proprietary governance and sustainability assessments into security selection and portfolio construction. The firm runs a range of active equity and fixed‑income strategies across market capitalizations (including long/short and income‑oriented strategies) and supports model‑driven platforms, UMAs, wrap programs, direct indexing, and private-credit or other alternative allocations where appropriate; it also uses implementation tools such as a “Liquidity Overlay Model” for certain model-based accounts.

Compared with many peers, KAR combines an enterprise relationship with an independent multi‑manager parent and a significant cross‑channel business: as of December 31, 2025 it reported approximately $57.95 billion in total assets under management (about $39.36 billion regulatory AUM and $18.59 billion in model/emulation assets), acts as a sub‑adviser to affiliated Virtus funds and non‑U.S. UCITS (and is authorized by the Central Bank of Ireland for UCITS management), and routinely serves less common client types for its peer group — including sovereign wealth funds, banking/thrift institutions, and other registered investment advisers.

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
