About

Stratos Wealth Advisors serves individual and institutional clients, including high‑net‑worth households and retirement plans, through a network of 71 investment advisory representatives across multiple teams. The firm provides financial planning, ongoing portfolio management (wrap and non‑wrap), third‑party manager programs, and other advisory services tailored to individual goals.

Investment advice is delivered primarily by IARs who construct customized asset allocations or implement model portfolios and may use sub‑advisers or platform solutions (including third‑party managers available through Fidelity, Schwab, Envestnet, and SEI). Services include discretionary account management, subscription and hourly financial planning, held‑away and retirement‑participant management using third‑party technology, and an outsourced CIO offering delivered in coordination with a sub‑adviser.

Compared with many multi‑team firms, SWA operates under indirect common ownership with SEI entities, and the brochure discloses ongoing use of SEI Investment Management Corporation as a sub‑adviser and SEI Private Trust Company as a custodian, including participation in an SEI Integrated Cash Program and related sweep arrangements that affect custody and cash management. The firm also discloses other atypical operational features — such as an insurance consulting relationship with DPL, conversion and transition support tied to its SEI affiliation, and a mix of independent contractor and employee IARs (with some equity interests in affiliated holding entities) — all of which the brochure identifies as potential conflicts of interest to consider.

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
