Avon, OH 36901 American Way Suite 2 A Office

Stratos Wealth Partners serves a broad mix of individual and institutional clients — including high‑net‑worth individuals, retirement plans, charitable organizations and corporations — and provides financial planning, advisor‑managed wrap and non‑wrap programs, access to model portfolios and third‑party manager solutions, and retirement plan consulting. Services are delivered through a large network of investment adviser representatives (IARs) who offer ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, sub‑advisory relationships and specialized consulting for business and executive clients.

The firm’s advice model combines individualized asset allocation and active monitoring with access to both proprietary and third‑party strategies; IARs may manage accounts on a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis and commonly use platforms and programs from providers such as LPL, Fidelity, Schwab, Envestnet and SEI. Stratos also supports held‑away discretionary management for workplace retirement and other external accounts via the Pontera system and operates both bundled (wrap) and unbundled fee arrangements across multiple custodians.

Distinctive features include a December 2025 majority ownership transaction that placed Stratos under common indirect ownership with SEI‑affiliated entities, providing access to SEI Investment Management Corporation (SIMC) strategies and SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC) custody and cash sweep arrangements; those affiliations, along with an in‑house subadvisor (Stratos Investment Management) and programs that allow some IARs to become employees, create specific operational relationships and potential conflicts the firm discloses and manages. The firm’s enterprise scale and its range of offerings — from OCIO and institutional solutions to niche services such as sports and entertainment and executive planning — differentiate its platform from many smaller advisory firms.
