We’re pleased to welcome Great Lakes Private Wealth to the Summit Financial family! Based in Farmington Hills, MI, and led by industry veteran Daniel P. Murphy, CFP®, Great Lakes Private Wealth will become part of Summit Growth Partners.

As part of Summit Financial, Great Lakes and its clients will leverage our proven legacy elevating the advisor and client experience with world-class resources, technology and support.

“After careful and deliberate consideration of the options available, it became crystal clear to us that becoming an independent firm and partnering with Summit Financial was the only choice worth making,” said Murphy. “Summit Financial will empower us to provide an even higher level of client service that can help our clients navigate today’s ever-changing economic environment and thus, their financial lives.
