Advisor Group Welcomes Gallagher's Retirement Plan Consulting Practice To Its Network

New member adds 90 advisors, 50 support staff to independent wealth management network

PHOENIX, April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advisor Group Inc., the nation's largest network of independent wealth management firms, today announced the addition of Gallagher's Retirement Plan Consulting Practice, a 90+advisor team, to the Advisor Group network.

Gallagher joins Advisor Group through its affiliation with network partner Triad Advisors, a network of firms that also includes FSC Securities, Royal Alliance Associates Inc., SagePoint Financial, Securities America and Woodbury Financial Services.

Gallagher's Retirement Plan Consulting capabilities are driven by the team's extensive experience, expertise, and credibility with defined benefit and defined contribution clients. A consulting model that combines small firm flexibility with the scalability and depth of a large organization made Gallagher and Triad like-minded and natural partners for delivering holistic financial wellbeing solutions to clients.

"Autonomy was a key factor in our decision to consolidate most of our major business lines, including the more than 2,000 retirement plans we oversee. A hybrid model -- with Gallagher Fiduciary Advisors, LLC, as the RIA and Triad Advisors as the broker-dealer – provides flexibility to grow our financial planning practice," said John Jurik, Gallagher's National Practice Leader for Retirement Plan Consulting.

Jeff Leonard, Financial and Retirement Services Leader North America, added that "Gallagher chose Triad because of its experience, expertise and focus on partnership."

Michael Gatti, CFP®, Vice President of Business Development at Triad Advisors, said, "Gallagher leadership's decades of experience shepherding corporate clients, financial planning clients and potential merger partners to their goals brings incredible value to our network. We look forward to supporting their needs and those of their clients and building a long-term relationship with the entire team."

"We are thrilled that Gallagher's team recognized Triad's reputation as a leader and pioneer in the hybrid RIA model when they were considering the growing needs of their retirement business practice," said Jeff Rosenthal, President Triad Advisors. "We are honored to have them as part of the Advisor Group family."

Greg Cornick, President of Advice and Wealth Management at Advisor Group, said: "On behalf of the entire Advisor Group family of firms, we welcome the Gallagher team. We are thrilled they chose to build their hybrid RIA with an experienced and proven partner. We look forward to their continued success with Advisor Group."
