SAN DIEGO, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC announced today that the financial advisors of Tribute Financial have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platform. Led by president and chief executive officer, Kevin Daniels, MBAF, the team reported serving over $500 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and joins LPL from United Planners Financial Services.
Based across offices in Missouri and Connecticut, Tribute Financial is a family-oriented practice serving a diverse client base that spans generations and financial backgrounds. Daniels and his team focus on building long-standing relationships grounded in trust and work with clients at various stages of their financial journeys.
With a career that began in electrical engineering — including designing power systems for F-18 aircraft — Daniels brings a dynamic, analytical perspective to financial planning. Over time, he transitioned into wealth management with a commitment to helping clients navigate complex financial decisions and work towards achieving long-term financial success.
Daniels describes his approach as centered on integrity and transparency, emphasizing the importance of earning trust in an increasingly complex financial landscape. By prioritizing consistent service and accountability — including a disciplined process where multiple team members review client accounts — Tribute Financial strives to deliver a reliable and personalized client experience.
“We believe success comes from doing the right thing over and over again,” Daniels said. “Our goal is to put people first and serve as trusted partners to our clients, helping them make informed decisions with confidence.”
