Alex Hinson Joins LPL Financial in Macon, Georgia

MACON, GA — Winthrop & Co. is proud to formally announce that Alex Hinson has joined LPL Financial, the nation's largest independent broker-dealer, moving his practice to full independence in Macon.

Alex spent the previous four years at Ameriprise Financial in Macon, where he built a practice serving families and professionals across Middle Georgia. His move to LPL gives that practice an independent foundation: ownership of the client relationships, open-architecture investments, and the flexibility to run the business around his clients.

LPL Financial has been the industry's most frequent destination for advisors moving to independence, combining the scale of the largest independent platform in the country with a model in which the advisor, not the firm, owns the practice. For an advisor building a long-term business in his own community, that ownership is often the deciding factor.

Winthrop & Co. worked with Alex through his evaluation and transition, from the initial confidential conversation through his first day of independence. As with every placement, the process was run quietly, on his timeline, and at no cost to him.

Winthrop & Co. is an independent consulting and advisor placement firm serving financial advisors nationwide. We represent the advisor, never the firm, across wirehouse, regional, independent broker-dealer, and RIA channels. Advisors exploring their options can request an introduction in complete confidence.
