“Fittingly, I first became aware of Dynasty Financial Partners over the Fourth of July weekend when I heard CEO Shirl Penney on a podcast. Once I began to do some research on the independence movement, it became very clear that there were significant advantages for my clients and for our business to launch an RIA,” said Mr. Parry. “The fact that Dynasty has moved its headquarters to St. Petersburg in the Tampa Bay area was icing on the cake. They have been tremendous partners as well as neighbors as we launch our new firm.”

“Curtis exemplifies the traits that make a successful entrepreneur: he is smart, flexible, strategic and listens to his clients. Once he made the decision to go independent, he and his team have been all in. It has been wonderful working with Curtis and his whole team as they launch their new firm in the fast-growing Tampa Bay community,” said Shirl Penney, CEO of Dynasty Financial Partners.

“We are pleased to welcome Curtis and his well credentialed team to the fully independent wealth management model supported by Dynasty Financial Partners. Curtis and his team did their full due diligence and determined this is the best path forward to serve and support their remarkable clients,” said John Sullivan, Head of Network Development at Dynasty. “We believe their planning focused business will thrive in the fully independent RIA model. We expect other like-minded advisory teams, who take the time to fully understand their options, will come to the same conclusion. Welcome to Independence!”

Unique Wealth has selected Pershing as its custodian. Other resource partners include Black Diamond and eMoney. Unique Wealth will work with Dynasty Financial Partners’ TAMP and investment services, M&A services as well as marketing capabilities.
