About

Osaic Wealth, Inc. serves a broad mix of retail and institutional clients — including individual and high‑net‑worth investors, pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations, and charitable organizations — through a large network of affiliated financial advisers and multiple advisory platforms. The firm offers integrated brokerage and investment advisory services, financial planning, retirement plan consulting, unified managed accounts, advisor‑managed portfolios, and access to third‑party money managers and wrap programs.

The firm’s advisers use firm‑provided asset‑allocation tools, risk‑tolerance questionnaires, efficient‑frontier analysis, and automated rebalancing to construct portfolios that may include stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, ETFs and alternative investments; accounts can be managed on either a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis and clients may impose reasonable investment restrictions. Osaic also supports legacy platform programs and transitions (including accounts transferred from prior mergers) and makes available third‑party services such as Envestnet and SEI for model and managed‑account solutions.

What is noteworthy about Osaic relative to many peers is its complex corporate and platform footprint — including multiple mergers that consolidated broker‑dealer and RIA businesses, significant private‑equity ownership, and an established connection to an alternative‑investment distribution platform — and its use of a variety of third‑party commercial arrangements (revenue sharing, platform payments and other referral or structuring arrangements). The firm has also disclosed multiple regulatory enforcement matters in recent years (including SEC orders and penalties) and maintains advisor recruitment and transition programs and lender‑linked services (sweep and lending arrangements and advisor loan/acceleration incentives) that create identifiable conflicts of interest which the firm discloses and says it manages.

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
