Triad Hybrid Solutions More Than Doubles Assets Under Management In 18-Month Period

ATLANTA, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Triad Advisors, LLC ("Triad" or "the Firm"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE American: LTS, LTS PrA, LTSL, LTSF, LTSK, LTSH) and a leading independent advisory and brokerage (IAB) firm supporting independent hybrid financial advisory practices and registered investment advisory (RIA) firms, announced today that its Triad Hybrid Solutions (THS) arm has expanded its total assets under management by more than $1 billion since the beginning of 2018 through strong recruiting efforts.

THS operates as an RIA and provides operational, compliance and technology support to advisory practices spanning the full spectrum of hybrid business models. THS's growth more than doubled the assets overseen by its affiliated advisors since the start of last year.

Michael Bryan, CEO of Triad Hybrid Solutions, said, "Advisors are a fiercely independent breed who cherish the ability to offer clients unbiased and carefully tailored financial guidance. Our platform is built to empower the full range of evolving advisory business models. That such varied hybrid advisory practices have joined us is testament to the adaptability of our solutions that can help accelerate their growth. It also speaks to the benefits available to advisors as part of the Ladenburg network."

THS' gross AUM grew to approximately $2 billion as of June 30, 2019, up $1.3 billion from what it was on Dec. 31, 2017. Over that same period, the platform added 31 licensed professionals across multiple teams.

Advisors that joined THS' platform ranged widely in size, with the largest in terms of client assets overseeing $590 million, while the smallest oversaw $26 million. Advisors were also drawn to THS' ability to help them address a range of strategic needs, including upgrading technology infrastructure and offloading complexity by operating under the Triad Hybrid Solutions RIA, rather than operating independent registered investment advisors themselves.

Jeff Rosenthal, CEO of Triad Advisors, said, "The success of Triad Hybrid Solutions is a clear sign of the team's ability to identify new recruits and persuasively present the benefits that Triad, THS and Ladenburg offer in helping these advisors expand their businesses. As part of Triad and the Ladenburg network of firms, we are able to offer the best of all worlds to the widest possible range of advisors, combining scale, resources and platforms with in-depth expertise in serving advisors' needs in order to allow them to do what they do best – focus on clients and grow their businesses."
