About

Kestra Advisory Services provides investment advisory and retirement‑plan consulting to plan sponsors and a broad mix of institutional and individual clients. The firm’s brochure describes services such as vendor searches and benchmarking, plan design and compliance testing, fiduciary consulting and oversight, plan‑level investment advice, employee education, pooled plan solutions, and advisor‑managed accounts.

Advisors act as ERISA fiduciaries where applicable and may be engaged to provide discretionary 3(38) or non‑discretionary 3(21) services; recommended investments are supported by due diligence that considers performance, fees, manager tenure, and investment process. Kestra distributes multiple management platforms and third‑party managed solutions (for example, AdvisorEnterprise and AdvisorChoice) and permits use of complex products and discretionary trading within its supervisory framework.

Compared with many enterprise peers, Kestra discloses activities that align with serving very large institutional investors: the firm reports approximately $79.8 billion in assets under management, acts as a placement agent for private funds, and offers pooled employer plan arrangements, and its disclosures indicate it counts sovereign wealth funds among its clients — a relatively uncommon client type for firms in this category. The brochure also highlights extensive affiliate and third‑party relationships (including an affiliated broker‑dealer and custodial/technology partners such as Envestnet and NFS), which expand product access but are identified in the disclosure as sources of potential conflicts of interest.
