Advisor Group loses another independent RIA to LPL.

The brokerage network spent the past eight months looking for a new CEO, ultimately deciding to go with an internal candidate.

LPL Financial adds Gatewood Wealth Solutions from Northwestern Mutual to its broker/dealer and corporate RIA platforms.

Improvements include a reduced number of fields and better integration with data from preexisting account holders.

An RIA in Pittsford, N.Y., is joining LPL Financial to leverage its growth resources and technology platform.

Lisa Affolter and Christopher Dulovich join Waddell & Reed as affiliated advisors.

Younger advisors may be social media natives, but a recent survey finds experienced advisors are more apt to use the platforms.

Two advisors jump ship to LPL Financial in Illinois.

The combined firm, with 11,500 advisors and over $450 billion in assets, will be one of the largest independent brokerage firms and may accelerate Advisor Group's efforts to roll out an RIA-only platform.
