CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC (Nasdaq:LPLA), a leading retail investment advisory firm, independent broker-dealer and registered investment advisor (RIA) custodian, today announced that financial advisor Darrell Todd has joined LPL Financial, leveraging its broker-dealer and corporate RIA platforms, including custodial services. He is aligned with JFC Financial, a large enterprise that joined LPL last year. Todd reported having served approximately $110 million in brokerage, advisory and retirement plan assets*. He joins LPL from Hilltop Securities.
Todd, who has more than 30 years of industry experience, founded Southlake Financial Services in 2010 in his hometown of Trophy Club, Texas. He is joined by Kinsey Chadick, registered sales assistant. They built the business by listening to clients and providing personalized planning and objective financial guidance to their client base of retirees, business owners and high-net-worth individuals.
“Our mission and commitment to our clients is that we will maintain high standards of integrity and professionalism as we help clients understand their unique financial situations and work with them to pursue their financial goals,” said Todd, a member of the Chartered Financial Analyst Society of Dallas / Fort Worth.
After a three-year search, the Southlake team chose to move its business to LPL. “All of our research and due diligence pointed to LPL. We are confident that we have found a partner that will create office efficiencies and enhanced client experiences,” Todd said. “With innovative capabilities, our daily tasks such as trading and managing accounts will be simple and quick, freeing up more time to spend with clients. We also really appreciate LPL’s extensive Research department to help us pass along thoughtful market insights and investment information to our clients.”
