LPL Financial Welcomes The Capitol Bay Group

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that the advisors of The Capitol Bay Group have joined Upstream Investment Partners, an existing firm supporting LPL-affiliated advisors. They reported serving approximately $375 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* and join LPL from Ameriprise.

Based outside of Washington, D.C., in Tysons, Va., the team is led by John Yetman, CIMA®, and Manish Mukhi, APMA™. The duo brings 70 years of experience and focuses on high-net-worth clients, business owners and retirees. They offer holistic planning, including retirement, estate and business planning, as well as a broad selection of investment options and risk management solutions. They have been recognized by Forbes as one of the Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams for 2024 and 2025.

Mukhi explained, “Our approach allows us to view clients' entire financial situations rather than focusing solely on specific investments. We begin by identifying clients’ priorities, such as retirement, education or significant purchases. Our goal is to assist families in expressing their objectives and to develop plans that address both present and future requirements.”

Why The Capitol Bay Group Chose LPL

Seeking more independence, autonomy and more tools to offer to their clients, the team, supported by Operations Manager Sherrye Bussel, turned to LPL Financial.

“We chose LPL for three reasons: independence, more investment options and their standout culture,” said Yetman. “LPL values client relationships and considers clients as belonging to advisors. We also appreciate LPL’s tools, which are essential for effective money management and financial planning.”

Scott Posner, managing director of business development at LPL, said, “I’d like to extend a warm welcome to John and Manish. At LPL, we continue to invest in new capabilities and solutions designed to help advisors grow their businesses, personalize their practices and deliver differentiated service experiences to their clients. We look forward to supporting The Capitol Bay Group as they evolve their business and make a positive impact on the lives of their clients.”
