More advisors have made the decision to switch firms, adding new faces to the line-ups at LPL Financial, Osaic, and Raymond James.
Chloey Wealth is a new independent firm bringing together the expertise of two female advisors in a new addition to LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and RIA platform with a combined AUM of approximately $140 million.
Jenna Vitosh is one half of Lincoln, Nebraska based Chloey Wealth and was previously with Edward Jones, while Natalia Paige was previously with New York Life. The two met at a networking event and while Vitosh is a second generation advisor, Paige has transitioned from a medical career.
“We focus on the psychological aspects of money and why people may hesitate to discuss financial matters,” said Paige. “It starts with building trust and sharing this type of personal information with confidence. Our goal is to understand our clients’ financial background and overcome past issues, enabling comfortable discussions about financial planning. We address all areas of financial planning, not just one specific area.”
LPL has also lost a female advisor this week as Randee Cook, CFP, shifts her firm to Undefined Gridlines Inc., an office of supervisory jurisdiction under Osaic.
Osaic recently acquired two advisor teams from LPL in North Carolina.
Cook is president of Strategic Financial Management, based in Greeley, Colorado, and makes the move after 35 years with LPL.
“As I look toward the future, I want to ensure that my clients are set up for a successful retirement as I begin to prepare for my own,” she said.
