LPL Financial continues to enhance its reputation as a leading financial services firm with a series of high-profile additions to its advisor network. The company recently welcomed experienced financial advisors Tara Blair, Chris Kitaeff, and a team of advisors from Sussex Wealth Partners, solidifying its position as a preferred destination for top-tier talent.
Tara Blair, a certified financial planner (CFP) and certified public accountant (CPA), brings with her an impressive portfolio of $215 million in advisory, brokerage, and retirement plan assets. Previously associated with Lincoln Financial, Blair’s decision to join LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA, and custodial platforms further bolsters the company’s position in the market.
Chris Kitaeff, a proven industry professional holding the Chartered Retirement Plan Specialist (CRPS) designation and an MBA, brings his extensive expertise to LPL Financial as a managing director with Maher Wealth Management. Kitaeff’s achievement of managing approximately $385 million in assets elevates LPL Financial’s ability to cater to high-net-worth individuals seeking comprehensive financial planning.
In addition to Blair and Kitaeff, a team of advisors led by Chris Mukoda, Brad Travis Jr. and David Crouse, join LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA, and custodial platforms. These advisors align with Momentum Wealth Partners, an established firm supporting LPL-affiliated advisors. Collectively, the team brings in a significant $415 million in advisory, brokerage, and retirement plan assets, adding depth and capability to LPL’s advisor network.
These strategic acquisitions have had a positive impact on LPL Financial, affirming its commitment to attracting and retaining top talent in the industry. The addition of experienced professionals with significant client assets under management strengthens the firm’s ability to provide exceptional financial services and tailored wealth management solutions to its growing client base.
By expanding its advisor network to include accomplished individuals from well-respected institutions such as Lincoln Financial, Merrill Lynch, and PNC Investments, LPL Financial demonstrates its ability to cultivate a diverse and highly skilled team. This move not only enhances the firm’s market position but also reinforces its reputation as a preferred partner for financial advisors seeking to provide exceptional value to their clients.
