LPL Financial LLC announced that financial advisors Brock Hively, Josh Smeltzer, Aaron Gingrich, and Emily Sides have joined LPL Financial to launch a new independent practice, Sides Wealth Advisory Group.

Sides Wealth Advisory chose to affiliate with LPL’s supported independence model, LPL Strategic Wealth Services, and reported having served approximately $900 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets. They join LPL from RBC Wealth Management.

Based in York, Pennsylvania, the practice was founded by Scott Sides in 1987.

“At Sides Wealth Advisory Group, honesty and integrity are our guiding principles,” said Hively, whose areas of focus include comprehensive wealth management, investment research and asset allocation. “We strive to be transparent, keep it simple and call things as we see them—and always with compassion. It’s an approach that earns our clients’ respect and helps us build partnerships that span generations.”

In addition, financial advisors Jared West and Sandy Brown have joined LPL’s employee advisor channel, Linsco by LPL Financial, to launch West Wealth Advisory Powered by LPL Financial. They reported having served approximately $390 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets and come to LPL from Merrill Lynch.

LPL supports approximately 22,000 financial advisors, 1,100 institution-based investment programs and 550 independent registered investment advisor firms nationwide.
