Altus Consulting Group, a newly formed Super-OSJ practice, has joined the network of firms with Advisor Group, one of the nation's largest independent wealth management organizations, Advisor Group announced today.

Altus has three financial advisors in Texas and Wisconsin who oversee $366 million in total client assets. Altus Consulting Group joins the growing ranks of OSJs affiliated with Advisor Group, which ranked second last year in highest number of OSJs among leading independent broker-dealers, Advisor Group said.

Altus will affiliate with Advisor Group through its subsidiary, Royal Alliance. The move is the first recruitment completed by Kristen Kimmell, Advisor Group’s new vice president of business development. She joined Advisor Group in July from RBC, where she served most recently as head of advisor recruiting and field marketing.
