Objective Advice

As a Certified Financial Planner® professional, Douglas is committed to acting in a fiduciary role with each client, placing your financial interests at the forefront of his decision-making. His affiliation with LPL Financial supports him in this pursuit. Because LPL does not develop its own investment products or underwrite equity or debt offerings, it means that he is not pressured or influenced by LPL to sell its products.

A Strong Institutional Partner On Your Side

LPL Financial is the custodian of our clients’ assets. LPL is the largest organization of independent financial advisors in the U.S., based on total revenue, as reported in Financial Planning magazine, June 1996-2020. Unlike many well-known brokerage houses, LPL does not engage in proprietary trading for its own account, which means that it does not hold any securities on its balance sheet that are subject to market risk.
