Tenney said: “Now we recognise the unquestionable benefits to clients in working as an independent firm, and the Dynasty structure allows us to execute on our vision.
“We will be able to provide an even better client experience due to vastly improved technology, advanced planning resources and tools and the fiduciary environment when making recommendations.
“Finally, the expanded resources are tremendous – everything from advanced planning software to investment banking, investment consulting and business management.”
The new business will utilise Dynasty’s integrated core services platform for independent advisers and its turn-key asset management platform.
Schwab will offer custody services for the new firm, while Black Diamond will support consolidated asset and performance reporting.
