ReliaStar Capital Management, Inc.

Reliastar Capital Management provides financial planning and portfolio management for individual clients, high‑net‑worth individuals, trusts and estates, and offers referrals to third‑party money managers. The firm also lists educational seminars and workshops among its services and bills for investment advisory services on a percentage‑of‑assets basis, consistent with common practices for supported firms.

The firm’s investment approach is to “manage the manager” by selecting model managers through AEWealthManagement’s managed‑account program and allocating client assets to those third‑party model portfolios on a discretionary basis. Reliastar emphasizes due diligence and periodic reviews of third‑party managers, generally favors long‑term purchase strategies via those managers, and discloses model, advisory and information‑security risks tied to that reliance.

Notable operational features include Reliastar’s small team structure (two advisors managing roughly $33.5 million) and a custodial relationship that requires clients to establish accounts at Schwab while giving the firm access to Schwab’s institutional publications, conferences and practice‑support resources. The firm also typically does not accept proxy‑voting authority for client accounts and generally limits client‑imposed investment restrictions when using third‑party managers.
