About

PKS Advisory Services, LLC provides financial planning, consulting and investment management to individuals as well as trusts, retirement plans, charitable organizations and other entities. The firm manages assets on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and advises on matters including retirement and education planning, variable annuity and employer‑sponsored plan allocations, and estate and tax considerations.

PKSA tailors portfolios using an initial client profile to establish risk tolerance and time horizon and implements strategies that include no‑load mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, Independent Managers, model portfolios and alternative investments such as structured products and privately placed vehicles. The firm routinely uses third‑party models and subadvisors (specifically naming Goldman Sachs Asset Management and 55ip in its brochure), allocates among Independent Managers, and conducts ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews.

The brochure discloses notable operational features and potential conflicts that distinguish PKSA from many peers: the firm is affiliated with multiple broker‑dealers and insurance agencies (including Purshe Kaplan Sterling/PKS, Cabot Lodge Securities and World Equity Group), several supervised persons also serve as registered representatives or insurance agents and may receive transaction‑based or commission compensation, and the firm uses GSAM model portfolios that may include GSAM‑affiliated products and 55ip models that are subsidized by managers. PKSA also documents custody practices that include standing letters of authorization for third‑party disbursements and relationships with custodians such as Goldman Sachs Advisor Solutions and Altruist, and states it manages these conflicts through policies, disclosures and client agreements.

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
