Ortloff, who previously worked at Merrill Lynch, brings with him approximately $820 million in advisory, brokerage, and retirement plan assets.

The launch of Heritage Private Wealth and the impressive ROE results signify a positive outlook for both LPL Financial LLC and Clayton Ortloff’s independent practice. LPL Strategic Wealth Services’ support will likely provide a solid foundation for Ortloff to further grow his new venture and serve his clients effectively. Additionally, LPL Financial Holdings Inc.’s strong financial performance indicates the company’s ability to navigate the industry successfully and attract top talent.
