LPL Welcomes Synergy Wealth Strategies

/EIN News/ -- SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that financial advisor James “Jim” Verdi, CFP®, has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and custodial platforms. He reported serving approximately $350 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and joins LPL from Osaic.

Based in Smithtown, N.Y., Verdi founded Synergy Wealth Strategies in 2008, driven by the mission that investors deserve a reputable, stable and safe place to house their investments. The firm’s name comes from the definition of synergy: the combined power of a group of things when they are working together that is greater than the total power achieved by each working separately. Together with his team, Verdi takes a comprehensive and holistic approach to wealth management to help clients create a more confident financial future for themselves and their families.

“Our clients’ goals are well thought out and often quite complex. Their portfolios should reflect the same,” Verdi said. “We do not believe in ‘cookie-cutter’ solutions to complex issues. Instead, our investment advisory team spends the time to carefully consider the intricate issues of each individual and utilize the products and services that best suit the specific needs of each client.”

Looking to enhance their client experience, improve their technological capabilities and grow their business, the Synergy Wealth Strategies team turned to LPL Financial.

“By partnering with LPL, we can provide large-firm asset management with boutique-firm planning and strategy,” Verdi said. “With LPL’s integrated technology platform, we can access everything we need with a single sign-on, and by using their back-office support, we will be able to spend more time with our clients — where we belong.”

Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, said, “We welcome Jim and his team to the LPL community and wish them success with this next chapter of their business. Like Jim, we understand that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. To that end, LPL is committed to investing in industry-leading capabilities and strategic resources to help advisors thrive both operationally and strategically. We look forward to supporting Synergy Wealth Strategies for years to come.”
