ATLANTA, Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Triad Advisors,
Inc. today announced that Head Investment Partners has transitioned to Triad's broker-dealer and hybrid multi-custodial
registered investment advisory (RIA) platform. Head Investment Partners, an independent financial advisory firm, brings
approximately $190 million in total fee-based advisory and brokerage assets, as of June 1, 2016. Triad Advisors is a leading independent broker-dealer supporting independent hybrid financial
advisory practices and registered investment advisory (RIA) firms, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann
Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT: LTS).
Head Investment Partners will affiliate with Triad through Triad Hybrid Solutions, a specialized RIA entity serving
independent financial advisors seeking the flexibility they would enjoy in having their own RIA while taking advantage of the
benefits of Triad's extensive compliance and regulatory support, as well as support in areas such as technology, marketing and
practice management. In addition, through Triad Hybrid Solutions, Head Investment Partners will receive the benefits of
affiliation with Triad's broker-dealer platform.

management needs of affluent families, business owners, corporate executives and professionals across the United States. The firm also provides investment management services for corporate accounts and

the firm has a total of four advisors and two support professionals, including Barbara Million,
Vice President, Senior Financial Planner and Private Wealth Advisor, Steven Witt and Brian Dickey.
Michael C. Bryan, CEO of Triad Hybrid Solutions and Senior Vice President, Advisory Services,
for Triad Advisors, said, "We are proud that Head Investment Partners has joined the Triad family and chosen to align with Triad
Hybrid Solutions. Over the years, Head Investment Partners has established an exceptional reputation serving high-net-worth
clients, especially throughout the Southeast, and we are eager to assist them in their mission to grow their firm and enhance the

to transition to Triad Advisors and align with Triad Hybrid Solutions. This strategic move will enable us to greatly improve our
client service by freeing us to choose for ourselves best-in-class technology that optimally serves our clients' needs, and to
provide open-architecture investment solutions that fulfill our risk-averse investment philosophy and reflect our own analytical
