Independent advisors were on the move in the period leading up to July 4.
Newport Beach, California-based Corient Capital Partners brought in Robby Saggu as a managing director. Saggu joins from Goldman Sachs, where he was a private wealth advisor in both San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Corient Capital Partners is part of the Dynasty Financial Partners' network and uses its platform for independent advisors.
"We are delighted to welcome Robby to Corient. He is an advisor with tremendous experience and an impeccable resume," said Darren Henderson, a partner at Corient Capital Partners, in a statement. We are proud to expand our team as our business experiences significant growth. Robby's addition reaffirms that we are committed to offering the very best advice and solutions to our clients."
In Irvine, California, Retirement Benefits Group – an RIA that uses LPL Financial's hybrid platform – has added two advisors, formerly of TriEqua Wealth Management of Tustin, California: William Caldwell and Brian Murphy.
Caldwell first entered the financial services industry in the early-1970s and founded TriEqua in 1983; he ran the firm as an independent broker-dealer until he joined the LPL platform in 2008. Murphy has worked on both qualified and nonqualified retirement plans and plan management, as well as family and corporate succession planning and insurance.
"We are excited to welcome Bill and Bryan to our team," said Michael Castner, RBG partner, in a statement. "They add several more decades of retirement plan experience to our already well-seasoned team of advisors that will help us educate all of our clients about the best path to a fruitful retirement."
"I wanted to make a move to get out of a supervisory role, but one that would allow me to continue to provide my clients with the same level of service they've come to expect from me over the years," explained Caldwell in a statement. "RBG's people and their philosophy of customer service are making this a smooth transition for all of my clients."
