James F. King, Jr., and his team at the Manalapan, N.J.-based King Financial Network made the move to the privately held independent broker/dealer, Commonwealth Financial said.
King, the president and director of investment planning at King Financial, says he joined Commonwealth for better accessibility to upper management.
