Two financial advisors with a $700 million book of business at Bank of America Private Bank have moved to LPL Financial’s high-net-worth-focused employee affiliation channel to start a firm called BrookBridge Private Wealth.

The Long Island, New York-based team consists of veteran private client advisor John Duane and portfolio manager Gregory Giantsos, who have been working together since 2015.

Duane has been a part of the financial industry for 30 years, including 25 years in private banking, while Giantsos joined the industry in 2012 as a portfolio manager. They offer a range of high-end wealth management services, including investment management, financial planning and custom lending solutions to their private wealth clientele.

At Bank of America, their client base included business owners, nonprofit organizations, foundations, professionals and executives. In a statement, the pair said the move to LPL’s HNW employee channel, known as LPL Private Wealth Management, will allow them to offer expanded services to additional client segments.

“Our goal is to help clients use their wealth to live the life they want to live,” Duane said. “Our clients run the spectrum, from business owners, to families, to organizations, to folks in the media industry. We aim to help each client reach their unique goals, and we are honored to guide them on their journey.”

Duane and Giantsos further cited “the right blend of independence and support” in selecting LPL, including the ability to offer “boutique services without compromise.”

“With LPL, we can build BrookBridge the way we want, with the autonomy, support, resources and services we need,” Giantsos said.

Scott Posner, LPL executive vice president of business development, said the firm is eager to welcome the pair, adding that LPL is “committed to continued investment in our innovative platform and solutions that help high-net-worth practices like BrookBridge enhance their offerings to the benefit of their clients and client relationships.”

LPL now serves more than 23,000 financial advisors, according to the announcement, including advisors at about 1,000 institutions and at 580 RIA firms nationwide.
