About

Park Avenue Securities LLC, doing business as Park Avenue® Wealth Management, is a dually registered broker‑dealer and SEC‑registered investment adviser and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. The firm serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations and corporate clients with brokerage services, financial planning, retirement plan consulting, and a mix of proprietary and third‑party investment advisory programs.

Advisory relationships can be discretionary or non‑discretionary and use model portfolios provided by in‑house managers, Envestnet, or third‑party strategists; VestWise™ is the firm’s lower‑fee hybrid digital advisory solution that uses Franklin Advisers models and AdvisorEngine technology. Park Avenue typically clears through Pershing, bills asset‑based advisory fees on program accounts, and offers tailored services via IARs including subscription financial planning and ERISA 3(38) plan management options.

Noteworthy features in the ADV that may differ from many peers include the firm’s insurer ownership and the prevalence of IARs who also sell Guardian insurance products, the use of the Dreyfus Insured Deposit Bank Sweep as a default cash sweep (with distributor payments to the firm), access to Fiscalyze (an agent‑owned business‑consulting tool with override compensation), and a parent‑company economic relationship with Hamilton Lane warrants; the brochure discloses these arrangements and other revenue‑sharing practices and also summarizes prior SEC/FINRA enforcement matters related to mutual‑fund share‑class disclosures.

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
