SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that the financial advisors of Oak Bridge Financial, LLC have joined LPL Financial's broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platform. They reported serving approximately $230 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and join LPL from Ameriprise.
Based in Houston, Oak Bridge is led by industry veterans Peter Goudeau Jr. LUTCF®, CLU®, ChFC®, RICP®, APMA®, and Larry Boyd MBA, APMA®, LUTCF®, who bring a combined 45 years' experience and founded the firm in 2007. The firm serves a nationwide clientele — spanning Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Seattle — focusing on high-net-worth professionals whether they are accumulating assets, approaching or in retirement, including physicians, attorneys, Olympic athletes, entrepreneurs and business owners.
Oak Bridge's team features advisors with backgrounds in fields like real estate, computer science, banking, and engineering. This diversity of experience gives Oak Bridge advisors a broader perspective, enabling them to craft strategies that go beyond numbers and reflect the varied lives and goals of their clients.
"Our clients benefit from advisors with varied expertise, which helps us deliver an end-to-end client experience and collaborate effectively. We have built out an impressive, comprehensive "A to Z" experience for our clients and to use each other as sounding boards," said Goudeau Jr. "Unlike most firms in the industry, we build and manage portfolios ourselves, handling all research, modeling and trading."
Why Oak Bridge Financial, LLC Chose LPL
Oak Bridge's decision to transition to LPL followed an extensive due diligence process focused on operational flexibility and technological innovation. The team, which also includes Pete Goudeau III, CFP®, APMA®, Andrew Brereton, CFP®, ChFC®, APMA®, Jeffrey Keown CFP® and Kingsley Davis APMA®, sought a partner that would allow them to maintain full ownership of their client relationships, data, and business processes.
"We wanted autonomy to run our business the way we see fit," said Goudeau Jr. "Our clients rely on us for immediate, transparent access to their information. LPL provides the robust infrastructure and open-architecture technology tools we need to provide a superior, data-drive client experience while maintaining our firm's independence and diverse culture."
