They have also selected Fidelity Institutional as the custodian for their clients assets. ShoreHaven Wealth has chosen Black Diamond for performance reporting.

"We are excited to launch ShoreHaven Wealth Partners as an independent firm. We believe there are great opportunities to create a customized planning process for our clients as well as create our own brand. And, in the future, we anticipate adding like-minded advisors to our firm," said Mr. Larry Durso.

"The ShoreHaven team is a group of seasoned financial advisors and experts and they are well-positioned to flourish in the independent space. Because of the relationship between Larry and his son Mike, the team brings a particularly insightful perspective to their clients in understanding the impact of family dynamics on the management of wealth across generations," said Shirl Penney, CEO of Dynasty Financial Partners. "The movement to independence is continuing - even during the lockdown - and we are pleased that an increasing number of RIAs are choosing Dynasty as their platform services partner to help them scale, grow, expand margins, operate more efficiently, and better care for their clients. We are thrilled to welcome ShoreHaven Wealth to the Dynasty Network!"
