NPA Asset Management, LLC is an SEC‑registered adviser that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporations, pension and charitable accounts through a network of 51 advisors and roughly 2,293 client relationships, managing about $1.065 billion in assets. The firm offers multiple managed‑account programs (Advisor Managed, MA Direct, MA Custom AdvisorFlex), third‑party asset manager referrals, and access to mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities and insurance products.

Advisory services are delivered via the Advisor’s Edge platform, where advisors help match clients to discretionary model portfolios, sub‑advisors (including Lockwood), or non‑discretionary recommendations and provide periodic performance reporting and account monitoring. Clients commonly custody assets at Pershing and may choose discretionary or non‑discretionary authority; the brochure reports roughly $543.96 million managed discretionarily and about $520.82 million managed on a non‑discretionary basis.

Distinctive aspects include the firm’s sizeable non‑discretionary AUM relative to many large peers and its ongoing broker‑dealer affiliation (Nationwide Planning Associates, Inc.), which the brochure discloses brings execution, clearing and revenue‑sharing arrangements that can create conflicts of interest. The firm also discloses a 2022 SEC settlement addressing past principal trading and suitability oversight issues and notes subsequent changes to its policies and program disclosures, which prospective clients may consider when evaluating the adviser.
