Former PNC Private Bank Trust Advisor with $260 Million in Assets Joins LPL Financial

LPL Financial, the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer, announced that financial advisor Zachary Fiandt has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, registered investment advisor and custodial platforms, aligned with Financial Partners Inc., an existing firm that’s part of Exemplar Financial Network.

Fiandt reported having served approximately $260 million in advisory assets and joins LPL from PNC Private Bank Trust.

Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Fiandt steadily built a reputation over the past decade for helping high-net-worth clients create comprehensive financial plans that shape their future.

“I offer full wealth advisory services covering every aspect of the financial spectrum, providing personalized and truly tailored experiences and strategies—no two accounts will ever look the same,” Fiandt said.

Looking for more freedom and flexibility in the way he operates, Fiandt turned to LPL and Financial Partners for the next chapter of his business.

“Through an extensive due diligence process, it became clear that LPL is entirely focused on the advisor and creating differentiated experiences for clients,” Fiandt said. “With LPL, I can make my own choices and create client experiences without outside influence or corporate mandates. I also greatly appreciate the growth toolkit and localized resources provided by the team at Financial Partners, Inc. I’m looking forward to taking my relationship with clients to the next level.”

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