The team reported having served approximately $260 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets*, and joins LPL from Corebridge Financial, formerly Valic, part of AIG. With headquarters in Albuquerque, NM, the diverse practice is led by Senior Advisor Angelo Burns, who joined the industry in 2007.

Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, stated, “We welcome Angelo, Larisa, Eli, Manny and Melinda to LPL and applaud their mission to enhance the client experience and offer more services. We are committed to delivering robust resources, business solutions and innovative capabilities that can help our advisors differentiate their practice and succeed at every stage of their business’ lifecycle. We look forward to a long-lasting relatio...
