Kindred Wealth Partners and Kestra Private Wealth Services Welcome Advisor Eric Longstreth to Independence
AUSTIN, Texas – March 3, 2026– Kestra Private Wealth Services (Kestra PWS), a registered investment adviser subsidiary of Kestra Financial, Inc., today announced that Eric Longstreth, a veteran financial advisor with over 20 years of industry experience, has joined its community of independent financial professionals in partnership with Kindred Wealth Partners (Kindred), a Pennsylvania-based wealth management firm affiliated with Kestra PWS.
Longstreth, who previously managed over $250 million in client assets, brings specialized expertise in traditional financial planning, tax planning, and estate planning. He is known for a comprehensive approach grounded in the belief that each element of a client’s financial life is interconnected and best managed holistically to support stronger long-term outcomes.
Longstreth chose to partner with Kestra PWS and Kindred for its strong cultural alignment and hands-on client support model, including direct access to advanced planning, investment, insurance, and compliance professionals that can help strengthen core business capabilities.
“Like all PWS firms, we view Kindred as our client. We are always happy to help them grow by adding talented, seasoned professionals like Eric,” said Rob Bartenstein, Founder and President of Kestra PWS. “Eric has built a disciplined, client-first practice grounded in long-term thinking; these are values that align closely with Kindred and with how Kestra PWS supports advisors who are looking to break away to an environment that enables them to focus on serving their clients.”
“My number one priority is showing up for my clients when it matters most, whether it’s a late-night call about a mortgage, a complex business hurdle, or navigating a parent’s estate documents,” said Longstreth. “I chose Kestra PWS and Kindred because they provide the robust infrastructure that frees me up to serve my clients more deeply. It’s the perfect balance: the resources of an established team with the entrepreneurial freedom of an independent environment."
