Integrated Partners has expanded the reach of its $20 billion RIA operations with a new affiliate in Boston.
Aged just 31, Samuel Diarbakerly has big ambitions for this wealth planning and management career. Having started his career at Commonwealth Financial Group, before a seven year tenure at Merrill Lynch and almost three years at Claro Advisors, Diarbakerly is now going independent with Generation Capital Advisors.
He’s joined Integrated Partners with the aim of providing a boutique service for high-net-worth individuals and business owners that encompasses private wealth management services, specializing in sophisticated tax, estate and investment strategies.
At Claro, the young advisor split his time between the firm’s headquarters in Boston and Naples, Florida, and he intends to continue this dual focus with his new venture. And he will be pursuing aggressive growth for his fledgling firm, leveraging the support services offered by Integrated Partners.
This includes working with private wealth expert Russ Alan Prince who works with Integrated advisors and sharing his insights and experience of working with family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
“Sam embodies the type of growth-focused, career-driven, next-generation advisor we are primed to support here at Integrated,” said Robert Sandrew, chief growth officer at Integrated Partners. “I look forward to seeing the GCA team thrive as they collaborate with our business owner solutions team to develop the firm’s HNW and business owner client services.”
The GCA team includes Rex A. Berger, assistant vice president and private wealth manager, who leads the firm's holistic family office approach, and Brandon Franco, senior private wealth relationship manager.
Diarbakerly’s firm will utilize the Integrated CPA Alliance to help them attract new clients and move upmarket.
“We’ve seen young, ambitious, growth-minded advisors like Sam benefit greatly from access to our partnerships with centers of influence,” said John Pastore, executive vice president at Integrated Partners. “These partnerships will further enable him to deliver exceptional, holistic wealth management services to his clients, and we are pleased to support him on his journey of continued growth.”
Firms continue their quest to attract and retain the best advisor teams.

As technical expertise becomes increasingly commoditized, advisors who can integrate strategy, relationships, and specialized expertise into a cohesive client experience will define the next era of wealth management
Growth may get the headlines, but in my experience, longevity is earned through structure, culture, and discipline
