SAN DIEGO, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that the financial advisors of Buell Wealth Management have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platform. The team reported serving approximately $370 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and joins from Buell Securities Corporation.

Based in Glastonbury, Conn., Buell Wealth Management is led by Chief Executive Officer Chris Berris, who has more than 40 years of industry experience and has served in his leadership role since 1997. His former advisory practice, Buell Securities Corporation, had deep roots dating back to 1921. The five advisors of Buell Wealth Management have 187 years of combined experience and an average of 37 years in the industry.

They have now made the move to join LPL under Buell Wealth Management, where they will continue to serve a diverse client base that includes high-net-worth individuals, retirees and business owners across 21 states.

The practice operates with a collaborative team model, drawing on the group’s extensive tenure and varied experience — including backgrounds at major wirehouses — to provide insights across market sectors and evolving economic conditions. Advisors regularly share knowledge and perspectives to help ensure clients receive comprehensive, well-informed guidance.

"Our approach has always been rooted in listening first and building relationships that last over time," Berris said. "We take the time to understand each client’s full financial picture and provide personalized guidance that evolves with their needs, helping them work toward their goals with confidence."
