Stride Investments, LLC

Stride Investments, LLC is a fee‑based investment adviser that manages about $200.9 million for roughly 524 clients and serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) as well as retirement plan sponsors. The firm provides ongoing asset management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), limited‑scope ERISA 3(21) plan advisory, and refers or coordinates non‑investment financial planning and insurance services through its affiliated financial/insurance entity.

The firm’s advice is built around individualized Retirement Income Summaries and a purpose‑based investment approach that combines fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis to align portfolios with clients’ cash‑flow, risk capacity and specific goals; account reviews are performed at least quarterly. Stride may hire unaffiliated sub‑advisers to manage portions of client accounts and also offers one‑time Strategic Tax Planning consultations and Estate Planning Coordination using a third‑party digital platform, with clear limits that these services are not tax preparation or legal advice.

Noteworthy distinctions include the firm’s affiliation with an insurance agency and the fact that its investment adviser representatives may also be licensed insurance agents who receive commissions for insurance and annuity sales, a conflict the brochure discloses and says is managed through written disclosures and internal policies. The firm also discloses a minority ownership interest in the parent of a sub‑advisor it may use and describes monitoring and disclosure practices for those relationships, reflecting a small advisory team that combines asset management with affiliated non‑investment services.
