To oversee indie unit, Wedbush taps exec from LPL hybrid RIA

In an effort to boost its independent offerings, a regional brokerage has tapped the former president of an LPL Financial hybrid RIA.

Robert Limmer made the move from Gladstone Wealth Group to Wedbush Securities on June 28. He will serve as head of the firm’s independent franchise owner network and be based in New York.
