In a strategic move shaking up the independent wealth management sector, Bluespring Wealth Partners announced Tuesday it will acquire SilverStar Wealth Management—a Texas-based firm affiliated with Kestra Financial—and merge it into its existing platform, LifeBridge Financial Group, forming a new investment advisory entity with $1.4 billion in assets under management.
The deal, steered by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, marks a bold step by Bluespring to solidify its position as a dominant force in middle-market wealth management. With both firms deeply embedded in the Kestra ecosystem, the merger promises scale, continuity, and a deepened client-first philosophy.

“We’re pleased to support SilverStar and LifeBridge on their shared journey,” said Bluespring President Pradeep Jayaraman in a statement. “Both firms have been strong, successful partners within the Kestra ecosystem, and Bluespring is proud to further enable their combined success.”
LifeBridge, based in Houston, and SilverStar, headquartered in Cypress, Texas, bring complementary strengths to the table. While LifeBridge primarily serves individuals and institutions, SilverStar caters to business owners and professionals—creating a blend of clientele and expertise that Bluespring believes will offer powerful cross-market synergies.
