What Brinker Capital does

Brinker Capital is the proprietary investment management division of Orion, operating under the legal entity Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC d/b/a Brinker Capital Investments. The firm delivers actively-managed multi-asset portfolios and the Destinations Funds suite to financial advisors, broker-dealers, family offices, banks, and trust companies, functioning as the in-house investment manager on Orion's broader turnkey asset management platform (TAMP). Its core product is Destinations Funds — institutional-grade multi-asset portfolios designed to keep clients invested across market cycles — distributed both through Orion's Advisor and Client Portals and via Foreside Fund Services for the mutual fund share class.

The underlying technology stack is the Orion platform itself: portfolio construction, model delivery, rebalancing, reporting, and risk management flow through the Advisor Portal, the Denali Data Layer, and connected risk and compliance modules. Brinker does not operate standalone technology; it is integrated into Orion's wealthtech ecosystem alongside Redtail (CRM), TownSquare Capital (OCIO), and Uptiq-powered Cash and Credit. Distribution is sales-led, leveraging Orion's enterprise field sales force, direct advisor portal access, and the Foreside third-party fund distribution relationship.

The business model is a recurring, fee-based TAMP revenue model. Brinker charges investment management fees on assets placed in its proprietary portfolios and Destinations Funds, with revenue tied to AUM levels on the Orion Wealth Management platform (reported at $185B total). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, varying by client size and AUM. The company reports strong retention (95% year-over-year) and meaningful advisor asset growth (62.1% average for OCIO clients, firm-weighted, Q2 2018–Q1 2025), underscoring the durability of its fee stream within the Orion ecosystem.
