The new firm will leverage Dynasty’s core services platform and turn-key asset management platform.

It also tapped Black Diamond for consolidated asset and performance reporting and Schwab Advisor Services for custodial services.

Findley noted: “We will now be able to evaluate decisions from a different perspective and seek out optimal solutions, regardless of where the solutions reside.

“Leveraging Dynasty’s capabilities will allow us to tap what we believe to be the best resources and capabilities through their open architecture platform.

“We are looking forward to having a true sense of ownership and control as a client focused/ independent firm with the freedom to do as we see fit for our clients.”
