Cary Street Partners

Overview

Cary Street Partners is an independent, SEC-registered investment adviser (registered in 2005) that provides wealth management and institutional advisory services. The firm serves a mix of individual and family clients as well as institutional accounts, offering financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses and for institutions, pension consulting, adviser selection, and educational programs. Its fee model is flexible and includes asset-based fees, hourly and fixed fees, performance-based arrangements, and other fee structures. Cary Street Partners has been recognized in industry rankings, including listings by Barron's (Top 100 RIA Firms, 2021–2023), Forbes (America’s Top RIA Firms, 2023; Top RIA Firms, 2024), Financial Times (Top 300 RIAs, 2020), FA Magazine (Top RIA Firms, 2020), and Citywire (50 Growers Across America, 2025 and 2026). The firm maintains a range of industry affiliations that extend beyond pure advisory work: it is connected with broker-dealer, insurance, accounting, and other investment adviser entities and acts as sponsor/GP or managing member of pooled investment vehicles. That combination indicates Cary Street both allocates to third-party managers and sponsors or operates pooled products.
