Financial
advisor
and

Phil
Eggers

joined
Raymond
James

–
the

independent
broker/dealer
–
in
Plano,
Texas,
according
to
Kirk

Central
regional

offered
through

Inc.,
member

“When
Phil
explained
his
conservative
and
innovative
approach
to
advising,
I
knew
he
would
be
a
great
fit
for
Raymond
James,”
said
Bell.
“We
need
advisors
like
Phil,
who
are
completely
focused
on
their
clients
and
strongly
believe
in
their
practice
as
we
do.
We
are
so
glad
that
he
sought
to
partner
with
Raymond
James,
and
have
high
hopes
for
his
continued
success.”
Eggers
and
his
office
manager,

Moore,
come
to

from
LPL
Financial,
where
he
managed
more
than
$150
million
in
client
assets
and
had
revenues
of
over
$1.3
million.
“I
respected
the
stance
on
investing
and
managing
that
Raymond
James
takes
in
the
business,”
said
Eggers.
“The
markets
are
so
volatile
these
days
that
the
conservative
nature
of
Raymond
James
was
very
attractive.
It’s
good
to
be
a
part
of
a
firm
that
stays
stable
during
turbulent
times.”
“I
was
also
very
impressed
with
the
type
of
technology
and
support
that
Raymond
James
uses.
Both
will
help
me
do
a
better
job
of
managing
assets
for
my
clients,
which
are
so
important
to
me.”
