Laurel Wealth Advisors
Robert E. Lee established Laurel Wealth Advisors in Charlotte in 2007, building a registered investment adviser that served local individuals and businesses with financial planning, retirement planning, and investment management. The firm operated independently for sixteen years before its acquisition. The firm's investment approach centered on traditional wealth management—constructing portfolios for clients using primarily mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts. Laurel Wealth focused on retirement-income planning, tax-aware withdrawal strategies, and general financial counseling for a client base concentrated in the Carolinas. In 2023, Integrated Partners—a Waltham, Massachusetts-based hybrid RIA platform—acquired Laurel Wealth Advisors. Integrated Partners reported overseeing approximately $15 billion in advisory assets as of early 2026. The acquisition adds a Charlotte presence to Integrated's footprint of over 150 advisors across the United States, extending its geographic reach into the Southeast. Laurel Wealth's structure as an acquired practice within a larger platform is its defining characteristic. The firm retains its local brand and client relationships while accessing Integrated Partners' centralized compliance, technology, and operational infrastructure—a common architecture for advisor teams that want independence from wirehouses without building back-office functions from scratch.
