Acquisition Impact Recent acquisition by Frontier Wealth Management suggests potential cross-sell opportunities for wealth management and retirement services to Karstens Investment Counsel clients, as well as expanded AUM access and integration needs.

AUM Growth Karstens reports revenue in the low-to-mid range with modest employee count, indicating potential for scalable advisory solutions, technology enablement, and outsourced portfolio management to support growth without a large headcount increase.

Fiduciary Focus As a fee-only, fiduciary-focused firm serving high-net-worth individuals, there is opportunity to position premium succession planning, comprehensive retirement planning, and bespoke wealth strategies to maintain client trust post-acquisition.

Tech Enablement Current tech stack includes Drupal, PHP and web-focused tools; sales opportunities exist to modernize client portals, analytics dashboards, and CRM integrations to improve service continuity and data-driven advisory capabilities.

Adjacent Services Founder's emphasis on wealth management and retirement plan services presents upsell potential to corporate retirement plan consulting, fiduciary governance programs, and ESG or impact investing offerings for high-net-worth clients and plan sponsors.
