A network of advisers responsible for $1.2 billion in private client and retirement plan assets has joined LPL Financial's broker-dealer and RIA custodial platforms. The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Householder Group Estate and Retirement Specialists includes some 40 financial advisory practices nationwide, and previously used Securities Service Network Inc. as its broker-dealer, Matthew Griffes, a spokesman for LPL, said in a statement. The practices are based primarily on the West Coast, South and Southeast. (Find out more about how LPL topped breakaway brokers' bucket list this year.)
