About

Private Client Services (PCS) is an SEC‑registered independent investment adviser serving a broad mix of individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), families, trusts, pension plan sponsors, corporations, and charitable organizations. The firm offers financial planning, consulting, and portfolio management delivered through a network of investment adviser representatives and multiple advisory platforms.

PCS uses a discovery‑driven process that emphasizes risk profiling and tailored platform selection; IARs recommend and implement strategies across proprietary Private Wealth Management, Advisor Model Portfolios, an Investment Model marketplace, directly held American Funds F2 share accounts, and third‑party asset manager (TPAM) programs. Unlike many large peers, a majority of PCS’s AUM was managed on a non‑discretionary basis in 2025 (59.39% non‑discretionary vs. 40.61% discretionary), so many clients retain prior approval over individual trades or allocation changes.

What differentiates PCS from many enterprise‑scale firms is its combination of broker‑dealer activity and an adviser model: PCS is also a FINRA‑member broker/dealer and its supervised persons may provide commission‑based brokerage in addition to advisory services, a structural feature that is relatively uncommon among peers. The firm also maintains an employee ownership component, leverages third‑party model and OCIO relationships (including automated model implementation via Orion and OCIO oversight), and offers held‑away management tools (e.g., Pontera) for non‑custodied retirement assets, giving clients a wide set of implementation options.
