Capitol’s President & CEO, Robert Turner, said, “From the very beginning, it was clear this team focused on what would be best for their clients. We knew our unique service model would add efficiencies and allow them to spend more time building client relationships. Add in Advisor Group’s innovative technology and support, and we had the exact combination they were looking for to grow their business.”
