Northstar Wealth Partners with offices in West Hartford, Westport, North Haven, Middletown, Glastonbury and Old Saybrook Launches RIA

Northstar Wealth Partners (NSWP), a respected wealth management firm headquartered in West Hartford Connecticut, announced today the next step in their evolution as a leader in their industry to both clients and advisors alike. Northstar has grown exponentially and today with the launch of their hybrid Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) they solidify their position as one of New England’s forward thinking financial enterprises, delivering both wealth advisory and financial products without bias or limitation. Their independent RIA allows them to continue offering all the services they have built their reputation on, while simultaneously opening the door to product expansion and potentially the creation of proprietary investment strategies to address the myriad of needs their clients require.

Today Northstar employs a team of twenty-five veteran Wealth Advisors, and a professional staff of thirty-five associates to support their growing number of experienced financial professionals. They have six offices throughout the state of Connecticut, collectively managing over $1.5 billion dollars in assets, as of January 2014. Northstar is also in relationship with the largest independent broker dealer in the country, LPL Financial*. The firm has won numerous statewide honors for their commitment to their clients and community. They were recognized by the Hartford Business Journal and MetroHartford Alliance as a  Business Champions Award Winner in the category of revenue growth. Business Champions recognizes the Hartford Region’s fastest growing private companies who have experienced phenomenal revenue, job growth, workforce development and sustainability. Under the leadership of Brandon Marinelli, and his partner Robert Laraia, Northstar Wealth Partners has earned the distinction of being the largest LPL office in the state of Connecticut, and the second largest in New England. Over the past five years firm has sustained an average and consecutive revenue growth rate of 83%.

“When we launched Northstar six years ago we had big plans, but neither Robert nor I could have foreseen the rapid growth, expansion and impact our services and business model would have for our clients or growing ranks of affiliated Wealth Advisors. The launch of our hybrid RIA is just the next step in our ever evolving mission to change the paradigm of a Financial Professional as someone you call last, to the one person you call first because you know they can and will act in your best interest in every aspect of your financial existence.” said Brandon Marinelli, one of the Founding Partner’s.

Knowing the financial services business is always changing and growing, Northstar possesses the essence of what it requires to be an objective, sound and competitive partner to a client in today’s financial landscape. Their Wealth Advisors have a stake in the business, and many are partners with their firm as a result. They are actively introducing both current and new clients to their expanded advisory and product solutions as a result of this announcement, and they are welcoming calls to any of their six locations if you are interested in learning more, or receiving an in person demonstration of their capabilities.
