SAN DIEGO, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC<\/u><\/a>\u00a0announced today that financial advisor Matt Griggs, AAMS\u00ae, CRPC\u2122, of Griggs Investment Group has joined LPL Financial\u2019s broker-dealer and Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) platforms. Griggs reported serving approximately $160 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and joins LPL from Edward Jones.<\/p>\n

Based in Eufaula, Alabama, Griggs serves individuals and families across generations, including clients in the agricultural community and government employees navigating workplace retirement plan distributions. His clients span a wide range of ages, and his practice includes multigenerational relationships that have carried over from parents to their children. He is supported by Client Service Associate Cheryl Pitts.<\/p>\n

Griggs has built his practice by getting to know the person behind each account. He believes understanding a client\u2019s story and relationship with money can provide important context for developing an approach that fits the individual. He typically meets with clients quarterly and emphasizes education, accessibility and straightforward conversations about their financial lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cClients are never just an account number to me. There\u2019s a person, a family and a story behind every relationship,\u201d Griggs said. \u201cI want to understand where clients come from, how they think about money and what they want their lives to look like. From there, my role is to make the financial side easier to understand. Ultimately, I want clients to be able to leave the stress about money at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

Financial education is also an important part of Griggs\u2019s approach. In his community, he volunteers his time to speak with young people about financial literacy, including the fundamentals of saving and investing. He also gives presentations at senior centers, churches and to other community groups about financial scams and ways people can better recognize potential fraud.<\/p>\n

\n Why Matt Griggs Chose LPL <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Griggs selected LPL for independence, flexibility and freedom to shape his business around how he believes clients can best be served. In particular, he was attracted to having greater flexibility over his practice and its pricing while building a business designed around existing client relationships and organic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis move is about having the freedom to build a better business for my clients,\u201d Griggs said. \u201cThis next chapter gives me greater flexibility to make decisions based on what I believe is right for the people I serve. My goal isn\u2019t simply to build a bigger practice. It\u2019s to build a better one, where I can stay focused on clients, continue strengthening those relationships and grow organically by doing good work for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marc Cohen, chief growth officer at LPL Financial, said, \u201cMatt has built his practice around a simple but powerful idea: truly knowing the people he serves. His focus on understanding each client\u2019s story, making financial concepts approachable and helping people feel more confident about their financial lives reflects the kind of relationship-driven advice we\u2019re proud to support at LPL. We\u2019re pleased to welcome Matt to LPL and look forward to giving him the flexibility and resources to build the practice he envisions while continuing to put clients at the center of his business.\u201d<\/p>\n
