SAN DIEGO, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC announced today that mother and son team, Sheri Johnston, CFP® and Jason Hotzler, from ProsperLane Financial have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). They reported serving approximately $250 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets.* Johnston joins LPL from Edward Jones and Hotzler from Thrivent Investment Management.

Based outside of Minneapolis in Prior Lake, Minn., Johnston and Hotzler have over 25 years of experience. They focus on serving young professionals who can grow into long-term clients, as well as small businesses and family-run firms.

“Our client philosophy is simple. We stand by our values of personalized customer service, quality products, reasonable expenses and always doing what is best for the client,” said Hotzler. “My family has owned businesses throughout my lifetime, so I’m excited to finally have a small business that I can share with my mother. We connect well with other family business clients, because it just speaks to where we’ve come from and what we’ve been doing for generations.”

Why ProsperLane Financial chose LPL

Looking for improved technology offerings to provide an elevated client experience and the counsel and support to create a succession plan for ProsperLane, the team turned to LPL after an extensive due diligence process.

“I chose LPL after a lengthy review of options available to me and my son. I wanted to build a multigenerational financial services office which would allow us to work together as a team and expand our services to our clients,” said Johnston. “We want to grow and have additional staff who have expertise in tax, accounting and legal fields. LPL gives us powerful resources and the freedom to support our growth, our way.”

Scott Posner, Managing Director, Business Development, said, “We welcome Sheri and Jason to LPL. LPL offers innovative technology and the strategic support advisors can use to deliver differentiated client experiences. We look forward to supporting the team as they continue to grow and support families in the Minneapolis area.”
