About

Kingswood Wealth Advisors serves a broad mix of retail and institutional clients, including individual and high‑net‑worth investors, retirement plan sponsors, and other institutions, and offers portfolio management, financial planning, ERISA plan advisory, and consulting services. The firm also manages annuity subaccounts and 401(k) participant assets and works with advisors who are licensed to sell insurance products—relationships tied to insurance‑related accounts that are less common among multi‑team peers.

Investment advice is delivered on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and is tailored to documented client profiles, with Financial Advisors constructing customized allocations and permitting client‑imposed restrictions. Kingswood operates an open‑architecture platform and frequently uses third‑party managers and sub‑advisors (affiliated and unaffiliated) after due diligence, monitors manager performance, and may employ platforms to facilitate management of held‑away assets without taking custody.

What is distinctive about Kingswood relative to many peers is its integration with affiliated financial entities and the operational model that supports insurance‑linked account management; the adviser discloses selecting affiliated managers and working alongside a related broker‑dealer, and it may receive referral or other forms of compensation in those arrangements. The firm also sponsors a wrap program and provides institutional consulting services, and it documents these affiliations and potential conflicts in its Form ADV disclosures.

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
