SAN DIEGO, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC (Nasdaq: LPLA) announced today that financial advisor Jerry Rizza has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. He reported having served approximately $250 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and joins LPL from Osaic.
With 31 years of financial services experience, Rizza’s unique background includes playing professional baseball within the Oakland A’s minor league system followed by more than three years as an accountant at a CPA firm in New York City. “As I learned more about the financial services industry, I fell in love with the idea of helping families plan for a more secure financial future,” said Rizza, who grew his business organically by word of mouth.
Based in Melville, NY, about 30 miles from New York City, Rizza is joined at Rizza Financial Services by two highly valued, longtime licensed assistants Rachel Beneventano and Jessica Weich. Rizza specializes in retirement planning and behavioral investment counseling, and he enjoys helping clients accrete wealth and harvest income for a more comfortable retirement.
The move to LPL was driven by Rizza’s desire for enhanced service experiences, office efficiencies and a robust technology platform.
“LPL’s advisor-centric model offers the support we need to serve our clients more efficiently and effectively,” Rizza said. “My staff will appreciate the ease of doing business with LPL’s integrated platform, and no doubt my clients will appreciate that they can log into one online portal to view all their account information. This move has been years in the making, and I believe it’s a strategic investment in our future.”
Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, said, “It is an honor to welcome Jerry, Rachel and Jessica to the LPL community. We are committed to delivering innovative technology and comprehensive business solutions to help advisors differentiate their practice and increase value to their clients. We look forward to supporting Rizza Financial Services for years to come.”
