LPL Financial Welcomes Spotlight Financial
18 April 2024 - 3:00PM
LPL Financial LLC announced today that financial advisors
Alejandro “Alex” De Leon and Robert “Bob” Gorman have joined LPL
Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. They
reported having served approximately $200 million in advisory,
brokerage and retirement plan assets*, and join LPL from Wells
Fargo Advisors.
Headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, De Leon and Gorman were
colleagues in the same office for years before deciding to team up
to start their own independent practice. After more than a year of
planning, sharing ideas and many redlining lunches, the team – who
share more than five decades of wealth management experience –
launched Spotlight Financial. De Leon and Gorman say their new firm
will provide an elevated client experience with a focus on
financial education and transparency.
“When it comes to financial planning, Bob and I know there can
be a lot of noise and confusion around who to trust, where to start
and what questions to ask, and our role as financial advisors is to
help quiet that noise and uncertainty by simplifying the investing
process and educating our clients so they can take an active role
in their wealth planning,” De Leon said.
Looking to pair their client-centered philosophy with a desire
for more autonomy and flexibility, De Leon and Gorman – who are
joined by De Leon’s father Armando “Manny”, a 30-year industry
veteran, and sales assistant Diana Paris, who has worked with Manny
since the start of his career – researched several firms before
selecting LPL as the best fit for their business.
“By partnering with LPL, we are able to run our business our way
– but with the back-end support, integrated technology and
streamlined solutions that will help us provide a white glove
service experience,” Gorman said. “One thing I’ve learned over the
years is that it’s the relationships you build with your clients
that make them stay, and we are confident that moving to LPL will
allow us to strengthen those relationships for years to come. “
Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business
Development, stated, “We welcome Alex, Bob, Manny and Diana to the
LPL community and are honored to support the launch of Spotlight
Financial. At LPL, we recognize that it takes diligence, dedication
and aptitude to launch and operate a thriving business. That is why
we are committed to offering advisors streamlined and integrated
business solutions designed to help them create an elevated
experience for their clients. We look forward to a long-lasting
relationship with Spotlight Financial.”
