Memphis, TN-based Dominion Partners, a wealth management firm launched by a former Morgan Stanley Smith Barney team less than a month ago, has signed up to work with Williams Financial Group, a brokerage, securities, advisory and investment firm operating out of Dallas.

Williams has a network of around 280 affiliated independent financial professionals, with combined client assets of $7.1 billion.

Dominion Partners began operations on 15 December with approximately $155 million assets under management. The company's co-founders and leadership team are Brian Kinney, Nancy Hughes Coe, and Robert Coe.

"Williams Financial Group and National Financial Services, the clearing firm and subsidiary of Fidelity, are our backbone. We are confident in the strength, stability and scale of WFG and like that it has been based in Dallas for the last 25 years with a strong balance sheet and regulatory framework,” said Hughes Coe.
