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.
