About

Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. is an enterprise-scale advisory and broker‑dealer affiliate of Voya Financial that provides financial planning, portfolio management, unified managed account (UMA) and wrap programs, third‑party money manager access, and retirement-plan and IRA advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporate clients. The firm delivers these services through a large network of investment adviser representatives and a product shelf that includes both affiliated and unaffiliated investment products.

VFA structures client relationships around investment policy statements and model allocations, combining in‑house and outside strategists, model portfolios, and technology-enabled tools—such as Morningstar-powered retirement advice and sub-advised custom indexing and tax‑loss harvesting—to implement recommendations. Many programs and accounts are managed on a non‑discretionary basis, with advisors providing recommendations and seeking client authorization for trades, while certain wrap and UMA arrangements permit limited discretionary sleeve management and rebalancing.

What is distinctive in the brochure is VFA’s dual role as an SEC-registered investment adviser and a FINRA-member broker‑dealer: the firm discloses that certain products are offered only in its broker‑dealer capacity and that some client purchases may generate commissions, and it describes product‑sponsor and share‑class selection practices (Product Partners and revenue arrangements) that create potential conflicts of interest. The brochure also highlights an uncommon asset mix among enterprise peers—approximately $3.8 billion of non‑discretionary assets versus about $69.7 million of discretionary assets as of year‑end 2025—reflecting a heavier reliance on client‑approved (non‑discretionary) relationships.

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
