CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 11, 2016 -- Leading retail investment advisory firm and independent broker/dealer LPL Financial LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:LPLA), today announced that ITI Strategies, Inc. (ITI), an independent financial advisory firm, has joined LPL’s broker-dealer platform. ITI provides advisory services through Private Advisor Group, an investment advisory firm on LPL’s hybrid RIA platform. ITI reported that, based on prior business, the firm’s advisors served approximately $200 million of client assets, as of Nov. 30, 2015*.

The firm provides comprehensive financial strategies and financial services, including investment management and insurance services, to individuals, corporations and foundations in about 20 states nationwide, but predominately serves clients based in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

“We believe that by transitioning to LPL and Private Advisor Group we can operate our business more efficiently and also gain the flexibility to be able to better serve the interests of our clients,” said DeNoia.”We have spent 28 years building our independent brand. We can build upon that foundation and take our business further now that we have access to LPL’s enhanced technology and robust tech support services and compliance support from Private Advisor Group.”

DeNoia stated that ITI is seeking to expand in the next year, with a particular focus to bring on an advisor solely dedicated to serving the firm’s 401(k) and retirement planning business.

In addition to his work at ITI, DeNoia has lectured and written for a wide range of publications on financial planning topics.

“It’s exciting to welcome to LPL a firm such as ITI Strategies,” said Steve Pirigyi, LPL executive vice president, Business Development. “Larry DeNoia and his team have built a thriving independent practice serving the needs of their clients. By gaining access to the resources and tools offered by LPL, we can provide this team with support in their efforts to grow their practice and help their clients work toward their long-term financial goals.”
