About

Pettinga Financial Advisors is an SEC-registered advisory firm that manages approximately $1.28 billion in client assets and serves primarily high-net-worth and individual clients, as well as trusts, estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and businesses. The firm offers discretionary investment management, financial planning (with more complex plans available for a separate fee), and ERISA plan services, including 3(38) investment management and non‑fiduciary advisory work for participant-directed plans.

Pettinga tailors portfolios to individual client objectives, using customized allocations that may include mutual funds, ETFs, investment-grade fixed income, third‑party managers and, where appropriate, alternative investments; some clients are managed using model portfolios. The firm discloses that its models are materially supported by BlackRock, and that research and model recommendations from BlackRock predominantly favor iShares ETFs, a relationship Pettinga identifies as a potential conflict and for which it provides disclosure and mitigation.

Pettinga is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Focus Financial Partners, which is in turn indirectly owned by investment vehicles affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and with Stone Point, linking the firm into a network that includes other registered advisers, broker-dealers, pension consultants and firms that sponsor or advise private funds. The firm also describes relationships with major custodians and industry providers (including BlackRock, Schwab and Fidelity) that supply research, technology and conference support — arrangements the firm documents as economic benefits that are disclosed to and managed for clients.
