About

Truist Advisory Services (TAS) provides investment consulting and advisory services to individuals, corporate and business clients, retirement plan sponsors and participants, and charitable organizations. Its offerings include asset allocation and investment policy analysis, plan sponsor fiduciary support and participant advice, and the AMC Advantage manager‑selection program for clients who wish to appoint third‑party managers.

The firm implements advice through a mix of discretionary manager relationships and non‑discretionary consulting, and it relies on third‑party platform and manager arrangements (including contracts with Envestnet and Envestnet Retirement Solutions) to administer the AMC program and perform ongoing due diligence. TAS’ Equity Research team supplements traditional research with AI‑enabled tools and its Investment Advisory Group and CIO provide supervisory oversight of manager selection, models and periodic reviews.

What distinguishes TAS from many peers is the degree of inter‑affiliate integration and the related operating requirements: AMC Advantage clients are generally required to maintain accounts at TAS’s affiliated broker‑dealer (Truist Investment Services) and the firm uses Truist Bank sweep features for core cash balances, and the ADV also notes an affiliation with a swap dealer—an affiliation that is uncommon among large enterprise advisers. The brochure also discloses a closed status for new AMC Advantage enrollments absent exception and documents multiple inter‑affiliate service arrangements and prior enforcement matters, all of which are material to how the firm supervises manager selection, custody and conflict‑of‑interest controls.
