Bernicke Wealth Management, an Altoona, Wisconsin-based hybrid managing $530 million, has switched its broker-dealer and registered investment advisory platforms to LPL Financial.
Bernicke earlier used Triad Advisors, part of Advisor Group, as its broker-dealer and TD Ameritrade as its custodian.
Bernicke will affiliate with LPL through Great Valley Advisor Group, an office of supervisory jurisdiction.
