LPL Financial Welcomes Financial Advisor Pat Gilmore

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC, a leading retail investment advisory firm and independent broker-dealer, today announced that financial advisor Pat Gilmore CFP® has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and corporate registered investment advisor (RIA) platforms. He reported having served approximately $125 million in brokerage and advisory assets*. He joins from Sagepoint Financial, part of the Advisor Group network of broker-dealers.

“I’m very excited about joining LPL Financial, especially with the firm’s increasing investments in technology. I can tell that LPL is listening to what advisors want and need, and as a result they’ve built an incredible digital platform that streamlines processes and creates a better experience for our clients,” said Gilmore, a past president of New Jersey Financial Planning Association. “I’ve also been impressed with LPL’s operational talent, hands-on support and ongoing communication. I feel like I have all channels supporting the growth and success of my business.”

Gilmore founded Wayne, N.J.-based PGA Financial Group in 1996 to deliver personalized, client-centered financial advice and investment management. “My philosophy is to educate the client first, then implement a financial strategy that we monitor over time,” he said, noting that he works with about 200 clients—many who have been with him since the very beginning. 

“We welcome Pat to LPL and are proud to support his independent practice,” said Rich Steinmeier, LPL Financial managing director and divisional president, Business Development. “We’re seeing a flight to quality in the independent space.
