Daniel Zacharias has joined LPL Financial's broker-dealer and registered investment advisor platform, aligning with Decorum Wealth Management, an existing LPL Strategic Wealth firm.
Zacharias was previously with UBS Financial Services managing about $250 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets and has nearly 20 years in the industry. A second-generation advisor who started out in national accounts roles in Silicon Valley, he moved into mortgage lending, and then joined UBS, working alongside his father to build a practice rooted in long-term client relationships.
His client base includes business owners, professionals and retirees, and he says his work centers on understanding what each client needs financially, both now and down the line.
Marc Cohen, chief growth officer at LPL Financial, said, "We're pleased to welcome Daniel to LPL and the Decorum Wealth Management team. His multichannel industry experience and commitment to understanding clients' financial needs align with LPL's purpose to support advisors as they deliver meaningful, client-centric guidance. We look forward to supporting Daniel as he continues to grow his practice."
