Pickett, who started his career as an institutional bond salesman, has nearly 35 years of experience providing financial consulting and wealth management services for high-net-worth families, individuals, corporations and foundations. “A key part of what I do is to really make sure I understand what’s important to my clients, and then work directly with them to develop a holistic financial plan and investment strategy designed for their specific situations, time frames and risk tolerance,” he said.
Pickett and Stephenson, who have worked together for more than six years, launched The Pickett Group of LPL Financial in an effort to better support their clients’ unique goals and values. “The entire focus of LPL is empowering advisors so we can focus on our clients, and they back up that commitment with investments in their technology, services, business resources and more,” Pickett said. “We’re excited to have access to a wide range of offerings that will allow us to provide our clients with differentiated experiences.”
With Linsco, advisors maintain complete autonomy of their brand and business, and how to best run their financial practice. They also have access to key resources including seamless digital services, hands-on marketing and administrative support, and an experienced branch management team who serve as advocates and thought partners.
“We’re looking forward to leveraging LPL’s integrated wealth management platform and innovative technology, particularly their financial planning offering, which will not only make delivering planning services easier, but also more efficient,” Pickett said. “Looking ahead, it’s my goal to build a team that supports our clients as they work toward their financial aspirations, and LPL’s platform gives me many more opportunities to do just that.”
The Pickett Group of LPL Financial will be the second team to join the Linsco office in Dallas, following Bespoke Private Wealth of LPL Financial, which launched last month. The office will have space for several more advisors in the future and is expected to become one of Linsco’s larger sites. “It’s very exciting to be part of the start of something new,” Pickett said. “We are thrilled to be able to contribute to the culture of the new Dallas office, and we look forward to collaborating with other like-minded advisors.”
Scott Posner, LPL executive vice president, Business Development, said, “We welcome The Pickett Group to LPL and congratulate them on making the move to independence. As Randall and Leslie grow their business with LPL, we’re committed to delivering the comprehensive support advisors expect with an employee model, along with the freedom, choice and ability to build a business of value on their own terms. We look forward to supporting the team as part of our growing Dallas community of advisors.”
