CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Jan. 23, 2019 – LPL Financial LLC, a leading retail investment advisory firm and independent broker-dealer, today announced that Regal Wealth Advisors (Regal) has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and corporate registered investment advisor platforms.

They operate from three states, New Jersey, South Carolina and Florida, serving primarily multi-generational families by taking a holistic approach to supporting all facets of wealth management.

Our mission is to help clients achieve their individual and family goals,” Pincus said. “Because of our efforts, our firm has grown exponentially and we need advanced technology and a broker-dealer that has the size and scale to support our continued growth.”

“After looking at the integrated platform, concierge level of support and client-facing capabilities that LPL Financial provides, it was a simple choice,” McCarthy added. “We believe that LPL can help us meet the demands of our growing firm and help us take our firm to the next level.”
