Among the latest advisor moves announced this week are new recruits for Osaic, Sanctuary, and Composition with combined assets under management or advisement of more than $1.4 billion.
At Osaic, Daniel Luegers launches BlueHaven Wealth Management in Hudson, Ohio. The 25-year veteran of the wealth management industry including two decades at Valic Financial Advisors and shorter periods at UBS Wealth Management and Corebridge Financial. BlueHaven has more than $400 million in assets under advisement.

Heading for independence in Indianapolis, Indiana, is Bernard Reed who leads Velorum Wealth Management, a $580 million AUM firm that joins Sanctuary Wealth’s Partnered Independence model. Reed was previously with Bank of Montreal Private Wealth.
“Coming from an extremely large institution and starting an independent practice can be a major leap of faith,” said Reed. “With Sanctuary, however, I’ve been able to make the transition with confidence. The scope of what I can now do for clients is incredibly powerful – transformative, in fact. I see myself as a problem solver for my clients, but to be effective, I needed to have the right tools. Sanctuary gives me those tools. These resources are immediately catapulting my capabilities past where I was and are setting me up for ongoing success.”
Velorum specializes in working with individual and family business owners who lead companies valued between $10 million and $100 million including entrepreneurs looking to sell their business.
Meanwhile, Composition Wealth expands its footprint with the onboarding of two advisory teams with a combined $481 million AUM.
