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.

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 referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors.
