LPL Financial, the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer, announced that Matt Warter and Theresa Houle have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms, aligned with Seapoint Wealth Advisors, an existing firm supported by LPL Strategic Wealth Services.

Warter and Houle, who join LPL from PlanMember Securities Corporation, reported having served $100 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets.

With more than 15 years of experience, Warter is a previous regional director who worked with about 1,000 financial advisors throughout Southern California. He reportedly now serves a diverse range of clients, helping them develop comprehensive financial plans that align with each individual’s unique objectives and circumstances.

Houle has been in the industry for about eight years, starting in her father’s financial planning business as his successor.

They formed a team after Warter acquired Houle’s family practice, recognizing they shared the same vision and values.

“We’re a young team, but we’ve formed a community within our business,” Houle said. “We’ve created a culture where our clients know each other. It’s been beautiful to see my father’s legacy continue as we build out our own brand and take the practice to the next level.”

Based in San Diego, California, the team chose to partner with LPL and Seapoint Wealth Advisors and with the move, they become The Warter Group by Seapoint Wealth Advisors.

“We had been eyeing LPL for a while, and once we were introduced to the Seapoint team, everything just clicked,” Warter said. “LPL has industry-leading technology with economies of scale where we can get more for less, all connected in one robust platform that makes it easier to do business. And then Seapoint is a local team of like-minded financial professionals who share our mission to put clients’ best interests first.”

LPL supports approximately 22,000 financial advisers, 1,100 institution-based investment programs and 560 independent registered investment advisor firms nationwide.
