The Capital Investment Services team selected LPL after a rigorous due-diligence process for its flexibility, independence, advanced technology, and cultural alignment.

“LPL provided the best overall fit for our business,” Lumpkin said. “Their technologically sound platform supports the trading and planning capabilities we need, while their culture — rooted in genuine relationships and advisor-focused support — truly stood out.

The Capital Investment Services team also includes: Kirstin Caraway, relationship manager; Alicia Hensley, client services associate; Camren Russell, client services associate; Sam Yates, client services associate; and Sandra Gay, relationship manager.

“We are happy to welcome Bobby and the entire Capital Investment Services team to LPL.
