LPL Financial welcomes advisor Kelly Compton
26 August 2024 - 10:56PM
LPL Financial LLC, announced today that financial advisor Kelly
Compton has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial
platforms, aligning with existing firm Client Centric Wealth
Management, part of Upstream Investment Partners. He reported
having served approximately $150 million in advisory and retirement
plan assets* and joins LPL after owning his RIA, WCM Wealth
Management, which custodied with Schwab Advisor Services.
Based in San Antonio, Compton has always had an entrepreneurial
spirit and a love of helping others. He started his career in the
hospitality industry as a partner for a restaurant enterprise,
where he sharpened his finance, planning and business skillsets.
All the while, he was fascinated by the world of investments and
trading.
Compton became a financial advisor in 2000 and left the
wirehouse environment in 2006 to become independent. He eventually
moved to a fee-only practice in 2011, where he also fulfilled the
role of Chief Investment Officer for WCM Wealth Management. He
works primarily with business professionals and executives,
offering risk-based model portfolios based on each client’s unique
financial goals. His aspiration is to provide clients with sound,
conservative financial advice and investment recommendations to
help set them up for a more successful future.
“As my book of business has grown, it became increasingly clear
that I needed to find a way to scale my practice while maintaining
the high level of service that my clients have come to expect,"
said Compton. “After significant due diligence, it became apparent
that Client Centric Wealth Management and LPL Financial were
natural fits for my practice. I’m impressed with LPL’s size and
scale, as well as its commitment to providing advisors with
innovative tools and flexibility in how we work with clients. I’m
also looking forward to being part of Client Centric’s community of
like-minded advisors who share my passion for helping clients work
toward their financial aspirations. This new partnership with
Client Centric Wealth Management will help ensure business
continuity for generations to come.”
Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business
Development, said, “We welcome Kelly to the LPL community and are
honored to be his partner of choice as he scales his business. LPL
remains committed to providing advisors with the strategic
resources and robust technology needed to deliver outstanding
client experiences and run thriving businesses. We look forward to
long-lasting relationships with Kelly and the teams at Client
Centric Wealth Management and Upstream Investment Partners.”
