Bluespring Wealth Partners Acquires SilverStar Wealth, Merging with LifeBridge Financial Group 

Bluespring Wealth Partners has acquired SilverStar Wealth Management, a Kestra Financial-affiliated firm based in Cypress, TX, and merged it into its existing Houston-based partner firm, LifeBridge Financial Group. The combined team will now manage $1.4 billion in client assets. 

LifeBridge is led by managing director Michael Rudelson, along with financial advisors Selena Krampota and Grayson Palmer. SilverStar, founded and led by president Tim Hudson, serves business owners, professionals, and financially motivated individuals. Both teams will continue operating under their respective leadership structures. 

“We’re pleased to support SilverStar and LifeBridge on their shared journey,” said Pradeep Jayaraman, President of Bluespring Wealth Partners. “Both firms have been strong, successful partners within the Kestra ecosystem, and Bluespring is proud to further enable their combined success.”   

The transaction marks another strategic move for Bluespring, a subsidiary of Kestra Holdings, as it continues to expand its national footprint. Recent deals include the acquisition of $400 million Brookfield, WI-based Charter Capital Management, the merger of Retirement Wealth Specialists and Security Financial Management into a $1.4 billion Florida-based RIA, and the February acquisition of $560 million Reliant Wealth Planning in Louisville, KY. 

Bluespring has also been actively expanding its leadership team and talent base to support ongoing growth across its network of independent RIAs and hybrid advisory firms.
