Lincoln Financial Network (LFN), the retail wealth management affiliate of Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC), announced today that Corey Bierl, Jason Cole and Matt Schoenfeld have joined the firm, bringing nearly $200 million in client assets under management from their independent financial planning practice, Fountain City Financial (FCF).

As part of the LFN community, Bierl, Cole and Schoenfeld will be backed by specialized advisory support, comprehensive wealth management services and the strength of Lincoln Financial while they continue to operate as partners of FCF, which launched earlier this year. FCF specializes in helping healthcare workers, educators and business owners develop and execute easy-to-understand financial planning strategies. Based in Overland Park, Kansas, the trio has been serving clients together since 2016, offering comprehensive investment, financial and insurance planning.

“Fountain City Financial was built on partnership and community, two tenets core to the Lincoln Financial Network culture that made this affiliation such a natural fit,” said Cole. “We love the ability to be independent advisors, while still having all the tools, resources and support of a large financial institution. At FCF we embrace the mindset that the best is yet to be, and we firmly believe that to be true as we embark on this new Lincoln partnership.”

Bierl, Cole and Schoenfeld are registered with LFN’s independent broker-dealer Lincoln Financial Advisors (LFA). The team joins LFA from VALIC Financial Advisors (of the former AIG Retirement Services).

“Fountain City Financial is focused on serving the financial needs of those who serve others, and this perfectly aligns with the LFN mission and Network Effect, which centers on a community of people helping others,” said John DiMonda, senior vice president and head of LFA. “With this like-minded philosophy, we’re excited to partner with Jason, Corey and Matt and provide them with the ideas, resources and strength of Lincoln and our network to help them take that next step in providing independent advice so they can make a greater impact on their clients, community and the industry while driving the success of their newly launched practice.”
