SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Osaic, Inc. (“Osaic”), one of the nation’s largest providers of wealth management strategies, today announced Simplified Wealth Management has joined its growing network of independent advisors. Bringing $315 million in client assets, the Corona, Calif-based team moves to Osaic from LPL Financial.
