Osaic Adds Former Commonwealth Advisor Managing $90 Million in Assets

Washington-based Brent Bridenback joins Osaic to grow his 100% fee-based practice, citing technology, independence and high-net-worth client support as key considerations

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Osaic, Inc. (“Osaic”), one of the nation’s largest providers of wealth management strategies, today announced the addition of Brent Bridenback, president and founder of Bridenback Wealth Management, to its growing network of financial advisors. Based in Cle Elum, Washington, Bridenback joins Osaic from Commonwealth Financial Network (“Commonwealth”), bringing approximately $90 million in advisory assets managed across 26 high-net-worth households. He selected Osaic to scale his fee-based business with greater flexibility and support.

Bridenback’s move is the latest example of Osaic’s continued success attracting experienced, growth-minded advisors seeking greater independence, deeper client resources and enhanced technology. With Commonwealth’s transition to LPL underway, Bridenback aligned with Osaic to help maintain service consistency for his clients and position his practice for future growth within a more independent, advisor-centric environment.

“I chose Osaic because I believe it offers the freedom, flexibility and platform depth that my clients and my firm require,” said Bridenback. “Their commitment to supporting independent advisors with industry-leading technology and comprehensive planning resources has been a key differentiator for me. Most importantly, Osaic gives me the ability to maintain the high level of service my clients have come to expect—without disruption.”

Bridenback was attracted by Osaic’s Advantage companies and high-net-worth capabilities, including advanced planning, trust services and strategic investment alternatives. The new affiliation gives him expanded options to create financial strategies while preserving the personalized, relationship-based service at the core of his practice.

“Brent’s decision to join Osaic is a powerful endorsement of our advisor-first culture and the strength of our High Net Worth platform,” said Jamie Price, president and chief executive officer of Osaic. “We’re thrilled to welcome him and support the continued growth of his firm – especially as the leading non-self-clearing independent firm where our open architecture model and flexibility continue to attract top advisors seeking independence and choice.”

For Bridenback’s clients, the transition means broader access to financial strategies, seamless technology and a dedicated advisor fully empowered to act in their best interest—backed by a firm purpose-built for independence and scale.

This addition reinforces Osaic’s position as a destination of choice for top-tier advisors seeking the freedom to grow and serve without compromise.
