CRS (Client Relationship Summary) - BD


STEWARD PARTNERS INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS, LLC - Broker-Dealer Firm

Version Date: Tue Sep 17 2024

Steward Partners Investment Solutions (“we,” “our,” or "SPIS") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). This document includes a brief summary of our brokerage relationship with you. Our affiliate, Steward Partners Investment Advisory (“SPIA”), is a separate and distinct SEC-registered investment adviser. Depending on the nature of your relationship, you may receive investment advisory from services SPIA. Our brokerage and investment advisory services and fees differ and it is important for you to understand these differences. Free and simple tools are available to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker/dealers, investment advisers, and investing.

Types of Services Offered:

As an introducing broker-dealer, our primary service is buying and selling securities for your account at your direction. Your financial professional can offer recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities and pursue investment strategies, but you make the final investment decisions. We also disseminate third party research reports and provide other information services and resources, including educational resources, sales and marketing materials, performance reports, asset allocation guides and/or periodic brokerage account reviews.

One of our obligations to you when providing brokerage services is that we must act in your best interest and not place our interests ahead of yours when we recommend an investment or an investment strategy involving securities. Additionally, when we provide any service to you, we must treat you fairly and comply with a number of specific obligations. However, our interests can conflict with your interests. When we provide recommendations, we must eliminate, mitigate or inform you of these conflicts, depending on the nature of the conflict.

  • Account Monitoring: Unlike in advisory accounts, we do not offer or provide monitoring services for your brokerage accounts. Your financial professional may voluntarily review holdings in your brokerage accounts and may or may not make recommendations to you based on those reviews. These voluntary account reviews do not represent an account monitoring service.

  • Account Minimums: We generally do not require a minimum account size to open or maintain a brokerage account, as long as there is a balance to cover applicable fees. However, financial professionals, in their sole discretion, may establish minimum account balance requirements. Some securities require investment minimums.

  • Limited Investment Offerings: We offer and make recommendations on non-proprietary products (i.e., stocks, rights, warrants, secondary market closed funds, exchange traded products, options, debt securities, mutual funds, annuities, market-linked investments, life insurance, unit investment trusts, structured products). We do not offer or make recommendations on all products of any particular type; for example, we do not offer or make recommendations on all mutual funds, or make available all share classes of the offered mutual funds.

For additional information regarding our services, please refer to our Regulation Best Interest Disclosure by visiting Regulatory Information and Disclosures at www.stewardpartners.com.


Questions to ask your Professional:
  • Given my financial situation, should I choose a brokerage service? Why or why not?
  • How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
  • What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other qualifications?
  • What do these qualifications mean?

Principal Fees and Costs: In a brokerage account, you will incur transaction charges when you buy or sell securities, including (a) commissions, (b) markups and markdowns (similar to commissions), (c) upfront or ongoing fees that you pay to a mutual fund or other product issuers, a portion of which is paid to us in connection with your transaction; and (d) handling and processing fees on each securities transaction.

Transaction-based fees are based on a host of factors, including, but not limited to (i) the underlying product selection; (ii) our brokerage service model (i.e., self-directed or financial advisor full-service) and account type; (iii) the size of your transaction and/or the overall value of your account; (iv) frequency of your trade activity; and/or (v) available discounts and/or fee waivers.

Transaction charges differ from one product to another, which creates an incentive for us to recommend products with higher transaction charges, which increases our compensation. You will incur greater total transaction charges when there are more trades in your account, which creates an incentive for us to encourage you to trade more often because it similarly increases our compensation.

Other Fees and Costs: Depending upon your account and relationship, you may also incur periodic account maintenance or IRA custodial fees, as well as processing, service, and account fees upon certain events or occurrences. You will incur interest charges if you borrow on margin using a securities-based loan in any of your accounts. Certain investments, such as mutual funds, have embedded fees that are generally paid by you to the companies that sponsor, manage, and/or promote the investment.

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. For additional information concerning our fees, please visit the Regulatory Information and Disclosures page at www.stewardparntners.com and refer to our Fee Schedules and Regulation Best Interest Disclosure.


Questions to ask your Professional:
  • Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go towards fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?

When we provide you with a recommendation, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means.

Third-party payments: We receive payments from third parties when you invest in certain products and services (e.g., mutual funds, insurance products). The amount of this compensation varies by product. These payments represent additional compensation to us or provide compensation for ongoing support activities we perform on behalf of third parties, such as product servicing, tax reporting, statement and trade confirmation mailings, or recordkeeping. This results in a financial incentive to recommend products that provide additional compensation to us over those that pay lesser amounts or none at all. Such payments may also affect products we make available.

Revenue sharing: The companies that sponsor, manage, and/or promote certain investments we offer earn revenue by charging you a fee, such as a management fee in a mutual fund. A portion of these fees may be shared with us. We use the payments in part to support activities related to servicing client accounts, to provide educational programs and technology applications to financial professionals, and to provide ongoing product support for certain investments. We have an incentive to promote the product sponsors that share the most revenues over those that share less revenues or none at all. We also have a revenue-sharing agreement with our affiliate, Steward Partners Global Advisory, LLC.

This summary does not identify all of our conflicts of interest, or all material facts about the conflicts of interest listed.

For additional information regarding our conflicts of interest, please refer to our Regulation Best Interest Disclosure and other Regulatory Information and Disclosures at www.stewardpartners.com.


Questions to ask your Professional:
  • How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
  • Our financial professionals are directly and indirectly compensated based on a variety of factors including amount of client assets they service, the product sold, product sales commissions, equity ownership or revenue the firm earns from the financial professional’s advisory services or recommendations. Financial professionals may be incentivized to recommend you transition your brokerage services account to an advisory account that generates ongoing revenue.

  • Most financial professionals are compensated as a percentage of (a) commissions, markups, and markdowns earned in brokerage accounts, which vary by product, and (b) ongoing fees from mutual funds and certain other product issuers. The percentage of revenue that your financial professional receives will generally increase as revenue earned from their client accounts increases. Therefore, financial professionals are incentivized to increase revenues on clients’ accounts.

  • Noncash compensation is provided to financial professionals in the form of credits toward training, due diligence meetings, and funding of business expense accounts.

  • When financial professionals affiliate with us, they may receive compensation in connection with transitioning from their prior firm. This includes an upfront payment and additional potential compensation based on the revenues generated from client accounts and growth of the assets they manage. This creates incentives for financial professionals to encourage you to move your assets to SPIS and to produce greater revenues by charging higher fees and engaging in commission-generating securities transactions.

The revenue in each of the above points may include revenue earned from a financial professional’s accounts with SPIS and with SPIA or unaffiliated third party subadvisor


Questions to ask your Professional:
  • Who is my primary contact person? Is he or she a representative of an investment adviser or a broker/dealer? Who can I talk to if I have concerns about how this person is treating me?
