Who's Moving Where In Wealth Management? – LPL Financial, W1M, Others

The latest moves, appointments and personnel changes in North American wealth management.

LPL Financial
Jason Mochi of Shoreline Private Wealth Management has joined the broker-dealer and RIA platform of LPL Financial. He reported serving about $275 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets, (based on data as of the end of 2024). Mochi was formerly with Morgan Stanley.

Based in Santa Barbara, California, Mochi brings more than 30 years of industry experience and serves a clientele of high net worth individuals, primarily those nearing or in retirement. 

The Shoreline team includes client relationship manager Janet Waller.

Nasdaq-listed LPL Financial supports more than 32,000 financial advisors and the wealth management practices of about 1,200 financial institutions. It services and gives custody for about $2.4 trillion in brokerage and advisory assets.

W1M
Joshua Moss has been appointed to lead the US private wealth business of W1M Wealth & Investment Management.

W1M – based in the UK – announced the move on its corporate LinkedIn page.

Moss, whose profile shows that he is based in London, has worked at the firm for more than nine years. He is also the founder of the US Next Generation Network, and has been a paraplanner at Avidity Wealth Management and a sports consultant for StoneMountain Management Ltd. He is a chartered fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment and has licenses and certifications from CFA UK.

W1M was born out of the merger of Waverton and London & Capital in July 2024; the rebrand was made in June 2025. L&C had a long-standing transatlantic angle – catering to expat US citizens and those with links to the US, whose dual residency raised tax and other complications.
