About

Kingswood Wealth Advisors, LLC provides investment advisory and consulting services to a broad client base that includes individuals (including high-net-worth clients), corporations, pension and ERISA plans, and other institutional investors through a network of Financial Advisors. Offerings include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consultation, selection and monitoring of third-party managers and sub‑advisors, a wrap-fee program, and management of annuity, 401(k) participant, REIT and other held-away assets.

The firm uses an open‑architecture approach and tailors allocations and strategies to each client’s documented objectives and risk tolerance, conducting due diligence and ongoing monitoring of third‑party managers and sub‑advisors. For certain held-away defined contribution participant accounts, Kingswood may use a third‑party platform to facilitate discretionary management without taking custody, and it provides ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) fiduciary plan advisory services.

Noteworthy features include its ownership within the Kingswood US family and an affiliated broker‑dealer, Kingswood Capital Partners (KCP), with some Financial Advisors dually registered and permitted to operate under alternative d/b/a names; the firm discloses potential conflicts when recommending affiliated managers or receiving referral compensation. Kingswood also generally does not vote client proxies on their behalf and typically handles trade allocations on an account‑by‑account basis rather than routinely aggregating trades.
