In 2014, Wes Littlejohn was chosen to join Integrated Financial Group (IFG), an Atlanta-based firm of over 90 independent financial planners from across the country. Marathon Financial Strategies’ affiliation with IFG is invaluable; it provides access to a network of talented, like-minded peers who share strategies, best practices and advice.
IFG’s members own businesses across ten states totaling over $2.5 billion in brokerage and advisory assets through LPL Financial and over $1.8 billion in assets under management through its separate registered investment advisor, IFG Advisory, LLC as of 9/1/2020.
LPL Financial is one of the nation’s leading financial services organizations and a publicly traded company under ticker symbol LPLA. The firm’s mission is rooted in the belief that personalized financial guidance is a fundamental need for everyone.
As our independent custodian, LPL does not offer proprietary investment products or engage in investment banking activities; this means advisors affiliated with LPL are not pressured or influenced by product requirements or sales quotas.
Thousands of financial advisors nationwide rely on the firm’s tools and resources to help them provide financial guidance and recommendations to help meet their clients’ needs.
