LPL Financial announced that financial advisors Michael J. Pumo CFP®, CEPA®, AWMA, and David A. DiRe have become part of LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA, and custodial platforms. Following this transition, Pumo and DiRe inaugurated 360 Wealth Advisors, establishing an independent financial practice situated in Austin, Texas. This move comes as part of their strategic effort to expand their reach and offer comprehensive financial services.

The launch of 360 Wealth Advisors marks a significant step for both Pumo and DiRe. Pumo and DiRe reported having managed around $250 million in advisory, brokerage, and retirement plan assets. Their newly established independent financial practice, 360 Wealth Advisors, pays homage to Austin's iconic Pennybacker Bridge, commonly referred to as the 360 Bridge, according to a press release by LPL Financial.

LPL Financial expressed its strong support for the newly formed venture. According to a press release by LPL Financial, Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development said: "We welcome Michael and David to LPL and are honored to support the launch of 360 Wealth Advisors. At LPL we understand what it takes to build and operate a thriving practice, and we are committed to offering cutting-edge business solutions and integrated capabilities designed to help advisors grow and differentiate their practice – on their own terms. We look forward to supporting 360 Wealth Advisors for years to come."

DiRe expressed his thoughts on the importance of personalized wealth management. "With wealth comes great opportunity, as well as increasing complexity of choice – especially with respect to who you entrust to share your financial personal aspirations," said DiRe, according to a press release by LPL Financial. "Michael and I believe in taking a holistic approach to wealth management. We take the time to get to know our clients, their goals and even their fiscal legacy aspirations so we can work with them to create a comprehensive plan for their financial future."

Before making this decision, Pumo emphasized the importance of due diligence. "We spent a lot of time doing our due diligence before making this move and the key selling point for us was that LPL makes it easy for us to run our business our way," said Pumo, according to a press release by LPL Financial.
