Investacorp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT:LTS) welcomed three new advisors with Sound Asset Advisors and United Financial Wealth Management, both New York-based firms, earlier this week.

Michael Fornasier and John Petraglia have worked together for 20 years and Linda Ventura joined them in 2012. They were seeking out a broker-dealer that could support the different lines of business that they represent, including traditional investment and insurance products, along with retirement plans.

The transition process was also extremely important to all of them, and they were very pleased with the hands-on transition team from Investacorp that allowed their on-boarding experience to be seamless. “Investacorp has been so supportive throughout the whole process, with such a quick and smooth transition we experienced, we are extremely happy to be here,” Linda Ventura commented.

“From the beginning, John and Mike were looking for an advisor-centric broker-dealer, where they weren’t just a number,” said Brian Kovener, Investacorp National Recruiting Director. “We are thrilled that they chose to partner with Investacorp, where they can continue to grow and build a flourishing practice.”
