ATLANTA, Oct. 3, 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) (“Ladenburg”) and a leading independent advisory and brokerage (IAB) firm supporting independent hybrid financial advisory practices and registered investment advisory (RIA) firms, announced today that it has successfully recruited Mooney Lyons Financial Advisors, a hybrid RIA practice based in South Barrington, Ill., with four financial advisors and approximately $320 million in total client assets. The addition of Mooney Lyons to the Triad Hybrid Solutions corporate RIA is further validation of Triad’s value proposition as a leading partner of choice for growth-minded hybrid advisors.

Nathan Stibbs, Triad’s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, said, “Mooney Lyons is just the kind of practice that thrives on our hybrid solutions platform – entrepreneurial, with an eye towards growing to the next level through selective recruitment of independent advisors. The Mooney Lyons team has established a strong practice with deep relationships. Our aim is to help them elevate their marketing and recruitment strategy, while also empowering their growth with our technology and practice management support services.”

Led by co-founders and Managing Partners Keith Mooney and Joe Lyons and Chief Operating Officer Greg Scheider, Mooney Lyons specializes in financial planning services for individuals and families, including retirement, education, investing and estate planning. The firm also works with small businesses on strategic planning and succession planning.

Mr. Scheider said, “Our goal is to grow our practice’s reach across the Chicago area and throughout the Midwest, and in so doing grow our client assets as well. When we were looking to make a transition, we immediately saw that Triad offered the total package that we were searching for. Looking ahead, we will continue to seek to build our size and scale with Triad’s help, while still focusing on cultivating the trusted client relationships that enabled us to get to this point.”

Mr. Stibbs concluded, “Working with highly motivated practices like Mooney Lyons gives us the energy and drive to do our best for the advisors that affiliate with us. As more practices take the hybrid RIA path, we believe we will continue to be a key destination of choice for those advisors. Our door is always open to like-minded advisors, and we stand ready to help.”
