CHARLOTTE, N.C. – January 7, 2022 – Independent Advisor Alliance (IAA), an office of supervisory jurisdiction on LPL Financial LLC’s hybrid registered investment advisor platform, announced today that Liberty Point Advisors has joined its network of independent advisors from Ameriprise Financial. They report managing more than $315 million in advisory, brokerage, and retirement plan assets*.
Founded in 2017, this six-person team led by Patrick McGrory and Erin Mendez operates out of Vineland, NJ, serving clients in 23 states. Liberty Point Advisors’ mission is to accompany their clients through all stages of life, supporting them with the tools, resources, and guidance needed to pursue the financial freedom, flexibility, and legacy they desire.
The ability to make independent decisions in their clients’ best interest, as well as an attractive pricing structure, drove their decision to look for a new partner.
“We value long-term relationships with our clients and strive to provide them with high-level concierge service through ongoing and engaging relationships. That, coupled with the freedom to operate independently while having the services needed to strategically execute on each client’s plan, meant finding the right partner,” said Patrick McGrory, CEO. “Ultimately, it came down to what was best for our clients. We did our due diligence, interviewing nearly twenty firms, and found IAA’s experience and knowledge most aligned with our needs and goals.”
“Our services coupled with our pricing model enabled Liberty Point Advisors to make the move to be independent while retaining the benefits of partnership,” added Robert Russo, CEO and Founder of IAA. “We’re honored that Pat and Erin have chosen to put their trust in us and look forward to future collaborations and helping them serve their clients through sharing best practices and resources.”
Liberty Point Advisors also includes Financial Advisor Ian Klinger, Paraplanner Nancy Mastrolia, Client Relationship Manager Lisa McLinden, and Practice Manager Alyssa McAllister. Together, the team is committed to delivering holistic wealth and investment management planning advice in areas including insurance, tax issues, retirement planning, estate planning, and philanthropic endeavors.
