About

Kestra Private Wealth Services, LLC provides investment advisory services through a network of independent Advisors and multi‑advisor teams to individuals and institutional clients. As of December 31, 2025 the firm reported managing approximately $13.45 billion in client assets across roughly 208 Advisors and nearly 20,000 client relationships.

Services are delivered primarily through advisor‑managed accounts, third‑party manager platforms and wrap programs (including the AdvisorEnterprise/Envestnet and AdvisorChoice platforms), with both discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements and specialized offerings such as annuity subaccount management (AAPlus) and 529 plan services (529Plus). Advisors have access to a broad range of investment products — mutual funds, ETFs, equities, fixed income and alternative or complex products — and the firm’s role is to oversee Advisor recommendations while generally permitting Advisors to select products and platforms within the firm’s approved menu.

Compared with many multi‑team firms, Kestra’s brochure highlights several institutional and operational attributes: an affiliation with a trust company (Arden Trust Company), placement‑agent arrangements for private funds, and relationships that support retirement plan and insurance‑company work and other third‑party adviser arrangements. The firm also discloses two prior SEC enforcement matters (2019 and 2021) addressing mutual‑fund share‑class recommendations and revenue‑sharing practices and describes custodial, sweep and platform revenue arrangements (e.g., Kestra IS and NFS) and Marketing Rule disclosures that prospective clients should review for 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
