Wood Wealth Management Launches Via LPL Financial

LPL Financial LLC, the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer, announced that financial advisor Brendan Wood, has joined LPL’s employee advisor channel, Linsco by LPL Financial, to launch Wood Wealth Management of LPL Financial.

Wood reported having served approximately $130 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets and joins LPL from Merrill Lynch.

Based in West Hartford, Connecticut, Wood is a former independent school teacher who shifted careers to wealth management in 2007.
