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.

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
