A three-adviser team managing $380 million at RBC Capital Markets has gone independent and affiliated with LPL Financial through its Strategic Wealth Services platform.

Chardukian has been in the industry since 1982 and joined RBC in 2002. He hired Goldstein as a college intern, leading to his full-time employment immediately after he graduated in 2007.
