Osaic 
Osaic, a wealth management strategy provider, has announced that Pointes North Wealth Management has joined its Empowered Independence channel. 

Pointes North based in Salem, New Hampshire – led by managing partners Nathan Auclair and Brent Balloch – oversees more than $500 million in client assets. It is transitioning from an independent model to Osaic’s W-2 structure.

Innovative Financial Group, an Osaic office of supervisory jurisdiction , played a central role in facilitating the transition and helping design a structure aligned with Pointes North’s long-term goals.

In late February Osaic announced that Bard Financial Services, a Branford, Connecticut-based advisory firm overseeing about $1.2 billion in assets under management, had joined the Empowered Independence channel.
