LPL Financial is extending its presence yet again in the Lone Star State.
The firm announced Thursday that financial advisors Jeff Minucci and David Ryzman have transitioned their independent practice to LPL’s broker-dealer, registered investment advisor, and custodial platforms. The duo, who formerly worked with Osaic, reported serving approximately $150 million in advisory, brokerage, and retirement plan assets..

Their partnership – which has evolved over the years with stops at Securities America and Fidelity, according to their BrokerCheck profiles – focuses on retirement planning strategies tailored to individual clients’ needs.
With their move to LPL, the advisors have launched their own firm, GreenPoint Wealth Management. According to Minucci, their approach is comprehensive, prioritizing risk reduction and tax strategies alongside long-term performance and estate protection.
“We believe in a comprehensive approach, which includes designing plans tailored to each individual client to help reduce risk and tax implications, while focusing on long-term performance, sustainable retirement income, and effective estate protection,” Minucci explained in a statement.

“We wanted to create our own identity and shape our practice on our terms,” Ryzman said.
