The firm offers advisors and advisor teams with $1 million and above in annual revenues ownership of their businesses as well as an open architecture approach to fee and commission-based investment choices.
In addition, WWM said it provides back and middle office services and solutions-including compliance, marketing and practice management support-that dovetail with the offerings of LPL Financial and other custodial partners.
