Giving back to the industry is part of how the Cetera community shows up – and three of our own were just recognized for it. Financial advisors Brad Greenbaum and Ralph Rosenbaum and Cetera Director of Investment Advisory Alex Chan were named to the Financial Services Institute (FSI) 2026 Advocacy Circle of Excellence for their commitment to advancing policies that protect access to professional financial advice.

Alex also received the Stephen R. Kareta Excellence in Advocacy Award, FSI's highest advocacy honor.

Congratulations to all three on this well-earned recognition!

*The FSI Advocacy Circle of Excellence recognizes FSI members for their commitment to advancing advocacy priorities within the independent financial services industry. Selection is based on nominations and review by a panel of financial professionals. Recognition is not indicative of future investment success, does not constitute a client endorsement, and no compensation was provided directly or indirectly in connection with the award.

Following LPL's acquisition of Commonwealth, Severn Wealth Management was searching for a long-term growth partner who shared the same values. They found it at Cetera within our Summit Financial Networks Community.

Co-Founders Steve Roth, CLU® and Wilson Phipps were drawn to Cetera’s culture of service and leadership access that reflected the partnership-driven environment they’ve always valued.

The Annapolis-based firm has served clients since 1988, taking its name from the Severn River that winds past the U.S. Naval Academy. Their philosophy is straightforward: clients aren't just customers; they're members of an extended family, and every financial decision is made with their long-term well-being in mind.

Every broker-dealer says they'll support your transition. Few explain what that support actually looks like in practice.

This one-hour webinar with Financial Planning on August 27 closes that gap. Tony Kelly, Partner & Director of Financial Planning at King Financial Network and Chris Sorsoleil, Managing Director of Enterprise Recruiting & Operations at Cetera Financial Group, break down what advisors should look for when evaluating a move – including timelines, technology, and the friction points that often go unaddressed until it's too late.
