Eagle Strategies (NY Life)

Eagle Strategies LLC is an SEC‑registered investment adviser and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of New York Life that serves individual investors, high‑net‑worth households and employer‑sponsored retirement plans through a network of more than 2,400 investment adviser representatives and roughly 132,700 client relationships. Its services include financial planning, retirement plan consulting (CP and EIMP), co‑advisory and solicitor arrangements with third‑party managers, wrap‑fee programs, and an Advisory Variable Annuity issued by NYLIAC.

Advisory work is executed primarily through IARs who may work individually or as teams with associate support and who tailor solutions to client objectives using third‑party managers, model portfolios and vendor tools (for example, Fi360 scoring for plan investments and Franklin Templeton model portfolios for the Advisory VA). For Retirement Investors the firm and its IARs act as fiduciaries under PTE 2020‑02, and the brochure describes regular monitoring and annual or quarterly reviews rather than broad discretionary authority across most client accounts.

The firm’s scale and asset mix are notable: as of December 31, 2025 Eagle reported approximately $32.04 billion in regulatory assets under management, of which about $30.35 billion was managed on a non‑discretionary basis and roughly $1.70 billion on a discretionary basis, reflecting a heavy emphasis on non‑discretionary relationships. The brochure also highlights institutional ties and potential conflicts arising from its New York Life affiliations (including NYLIFE Securities, NYLIAC and NYLIM), a Council Credit program that affects IAR incentives, the use of AI tools in adviser workflows, and availability of indirect exposure to cryptocurrency ETPs in certain programs.
