Breakaway team goes independent to enhance client-centric model; partners with Kestra PWS for personalized touch and dedicated management team

Kestra Private Wealth Services, LLC (Kestra PWS), a registered investment adviser subsidiary of Kestra Financial, Inc. (Kestra Financial), today announced the addition of Florida-based Eagle Harbor Advisors.

The newly independent team is composed of Partner and Managing Director Glen Turner, CRPC®, CPFA®, C(k)P®; Partner and Director of Wealth Planning Andrew Wilkins, CFP®, SE-AWMA™; and Partner and Director of Investment Strategies Girish “G” Navare, CFA®, who possess decades of experience in their personalized approach to financial planning. The wealth management trio chose independence for increased freedom to leverage open architecture, cutting-edge technology, unlimited product offerings, and an environment that encourages new and creative solutions. The financial professionals of Eagle Harbor Advisors previously oversaw approximately $250 million in client assets.

“The wealth management industry is rapidly changing, and we believe the independent model empowers us with the best resources needed to adapt,” said Turner. “After extensively searching for a partner to support our transition to independence, we ultimately landed on Kestra PWS for their blend of culture, resources, and dedicated management team that will best enable our clients and team to thrive in the coming years.”

Eagle Harbor Advisors’ model is based on three core pillars: expertise, accountability, and care. With these pillars in mind, the team strives to evaluate a client’s entire financial picture and build personalized relationships to offer a tailored, unique financial solution.

“The Eagle Harbor team brings natural synergies because of their client-first approach,” said Rob Bartenstein, CEO and Senior Managing Director of Kestra PWS. “There was clear alignment in what we considered best business practices and client relations. We’ve had similar experiences, so we understand the wants and needs of their business. With the help of our resources, we are confident that Eagle Harbor Advisors will grow to positively impact an expanding client base.”

Eagle Harbor Advisors becomes the fourth office Kestra PWS has opened in Florida.
