Kestra Private Wealth Services Adds $427 Million Arc Private Wealth

Ohio-based firm brings over 40 years of experience to the wealth management platform

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kestra Private Wealth Services (Kestra PWS), a registered investment adviser subsidiary of Kestra Financial, Inc., today announced the addition of Arc Private Wealth to its platform. The firm offers customized solutions, including wealth management, retirement planning, and more, to its client base.

With multiple locations in Northwest Ohio – including Oregon, Ohio, Waterville, Ohio, and Upper Sandusky, Ohio – Arc Private Wealth is joining Kestra PWS with founders Dave Riggenbach, Adam Lublin, Amy Fredritz and Dylan Clement at the helm, collectively bringing over 40 years of expertise to the wealth management space. In addition to its four founders, the team includes five support staff.

The team, which oversees over $400 million in client assets, draws from a comprehensive suite of services and offerings to create a personalized and unique client experience.

By partnering with Kestra PWS, Arc Private Wealth gains access to its full-service support model. While Kestra PWS oversees the firm’s transition to an independent business, Arc plans to focus on strengthening and building its relationships with clients.

“We prioritize client relationships, and when going independent, we were looking for a partner firm that shares these values,” said Dave Riggenbach, Co-Founder and Wealth Advisor at Arc Private Wealth. “By joining Kestra PWS, we’re able to serve our clients with a high-touch, white-glove experience and provide them access to high quality investment platforms and products.”

“We are committed to supporting our partners in achieving their goals of growth and independence,” said Rob Bartenstein, Senior Managing Director and CEO of Kestra PWS. “In Arc Private Wealth, we see a blend of harmonious relationships and dedication to a personalized experience that reflects our devotion to excellence.
