ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dynasty Financial Partners today announced the launch of a new financial advisory firm based in Blue Bell, PA, Amplius Wealth Advisors. The principals of Amplius Wealth Advisors most recently worked for The Liebman Marks Group, a boutique wealth management group within Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and were advising on in excess of $1.25 billion in client assets. Amplius Wealth Advisors has a team of eight professionals including four advisors.
Joining from Merrill Lynch are the following advisors:
We were content at our former firm and our growth over the past several years has been tremendous. But two years ago, we started the due diligence process out of our commitment to always try to do more and do better for our clients and their families. Once we completed an in-depth look at the landscape, we realized there is so much more we can do for clients now as a true fiduciary, said Matt Liebman, CEO of Amplius Wealth Advisors. In terms of firm growth, we anticipate receiving even more introductions to a broad array of quality clients.
Amplius Wealth Advisors has professionals ranging in age from their 20s to their 90s and offer deep expertise in comprehensive wealth planning, tax accounting, public finance, portfolio management, asset allocation, research, real estate, and insurance. Amplius Wealth Advisors Chairman Samuel Liebman is the father of Amplius CEO Matthew Liebman.
The name amplius means a larger amount in Latin. The firm chose the name Amplius Wealth Advisors because they seek to help clients do more with their wealth and to achieve greater goals.
According to Dynasty CEO Shirl Penney, We are delighted to welcome Sam, Matt, Aaron and the whole team of Amplius Wealth Advisors. They spent a year doing diligence and came to realize what an increasing number of advisors are realizing: that there are significant opportunities for both clients and advisors in the independent space. We are delighted to have this growing firm join the Dynasty family of independent advisors.
Amplius Wealth Advisors has selected Fidelity InstitutionalSM as its custodian. Amplius is also the newest member of the Dynasty Network of advisors. They plan to tap Dynastys capabilities in capital markets, investment banking, investment research and consulting, advanced technology, proprietary analytical tools, and marketing services.
Dynasty continues to see very strong demand for advisors like the Amplius team who see the benefits and want to join the independent movement. Their client-centric approach will translate seamlessly to the fully independent RIA model. As true fiduciaries, and with the support of Dynastys platform, Amplius is well positioned to accelerate their already impressive growth trajectory while continuing to evolve with, and serve, their distinguished clients, said John Sullivan, Head of Network Development at Dynasty. We expect more like-minded teams, who are committed to doing their due diligence, will ultimately determine that the fully independent model is the best path forward for clients and advisors, alike.
In Amplius, Sam, Matt and Aaron have brought together a strong, multi-generational team with a steadfast focus on helping their clients accomplish their life goals, said David Canter, head of the RIA and family office segments for Fidelity Institutional. Transitioning to independence will allow them to bring to life their vision for their firm and how they serve clients, and were pleased to be part of that journey with Dynasty, which has been a champion for independence for the past decade.
