Two advisors who oversaw $175 million in assets at Wells Fargo Advisors have joined LPL’s employee advisor channel, Linsco by LPL Financial, the firm announced Wednesday.
Jonathan Maloney and Niki Davis are launching Maloney Davis Wealth Management in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Maloney has 19 years of experience, according to his BrokerCheck report, while Davis has 10 years.
Their practice focuses on planning.
“It can often be difficult to manage money for clients or make recommendations without first understanding when and how they are planning to spend the money,” Maloney said in a statement. “That’s why we take a proactive approach. We created a business that is entirely centered around financial planning.”
Maloney and Davis made the move to gain more control over their business.
“We wanted the opportunity to keep things as consistent as possible, yet with improved experiences for our clients,” Davis said. “With Linsco, we can focus on taking care of our clients and their families with less restrictions, while growing our business our way. We’re confident this move will allow us to strengthen the relationships with our clients for generations to come.”
Insiders say the Wall Street giant is looking to let clients count certain crypto holdings as collateral or, in some cases, assets in their overall net worth.
The two wealth tech firms are bolstering their leadership as they take differing paths towards growth and improved advisor services.
“We think this happened because of Anderson’s age and that he was possibly leaving,” said the advisor’s attorney.
The newly appointed leader will be responsible for overseeing fiduciary governance, regulatory compliance, and risk management at Cetera's trust services company.
Certain foreign banking agreements could force borrowers to absorb Section 899's potential impact, putting some lending relationships at risk.
