SAN DIEGO, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC (Nasdaq: LPLA) announced today that the advisors of Prestige Wealth Group (PWG), led by managing partners Rich Galgano, CFP, and Matt Geraci, CFP, have joined LPL Financial's broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. They reported serving approximately $540 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and join LPL from Osaic.

Headquartered in Franklin Lakes, N.J., and Westchester, Pa., Prestige Wealth Group was established in 2007 by Mark Fleksher, who remains with the team as a consultant. The firm's managing partners, Galgano and Geraci, were hockey teammates in college and have worked together since 2020 to exponentially grow their practice organically and through acquisitions. They are joined by team members Chris Rich, Paul Goldman and Alan Concha, CFP. Together, they are committed to providing steadfast services and holistic financial plans that address the unique goals and complexities of each client's financial situation.

"Every advisor on our team has a true passion for helping guide clients toward their financial aspirations and ambitions," Geraci said. "We offer advanced services for all phases of a person's financial journey, and in recent years we've shifted our practice to focus on affluent clients in the high-net-worth space. We want to be everything to a select few, instead of something to everyone."

Their move to LPL followed an extensive search for a new firm where they can grow and deliver more value to their range of high-net-worth clients.

"Our decision to align with LPL was based on the firm's advanced technology, strategic support and dedication to empowering advisors to deliver optimal client experiences," Galgano said. "We appreciate that LPL gives us stability and scale as a Fortune 500 company, along with the autonomy to serve clients as we see fit. With smoother processes and an upgrade in the ease of doing business, we are confident that our business and clients will be set up for more continued success."

Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, said, "We welcome Rich, Matt and the entire PWG team to LPL. We're committed to providing advisors with innovative capabilities and differentiated service experiences so they can run efficient, productive and client-centered businesses. We look forward to supporting Prestige Wealth Group today and into the future by offering choice and flexibility in how they do business."
