About
United Capital provides national financial planning and discretionary investment management to a broad mix of clients, including individual and high-net-worth households, retirement plans, and corporate or institutional accounts. The firm also offers sub-advisory and consulting services and operates a technology and practice platform, FinLife Partners, which onboards and supports other independent investment advisors.
Investment teams work from client-specific financial plans to set asset allocation and select between United Capital-managed strategies, third‑party managers, or separately managed accounts, and they typically manage accounts on a discretionary basis with custody options that commonly include Fidelity and Schwab. United Capital’s platform supports customization — including ESG and faith‑based portfoliooptions — access to vetted alternative investments (via providers such as iCapital), and limited Variable Subaccount allocation services for certain clients.
Compared with many large enterprise advisers, United Capital is notable for the breadth of its affiliate network and non‑standard businesses: it is affiliated with a law firm (Creative Planning Legal, P.A.) and a retail trust company (Creative Planning Trust Company), operates lending and referral relationships for bank and securities‑based loans, and maintains a suite of related entities (including SageView and Baseline) that provide cross‑referrals. The firm also provides technology, marketing, and sub‑advisory services to other advisers through FinLife Partners and retains certain legacy arrangements (e.g., wrap program accounts and third‑party class‑action claim services) that can affect how specific client relationships are handled.
