The Retirement Planning Group (TRPG) has acquired 100% of the assets of Dightman Capital Group, Inc., an RIA based in Overland Park, Kansas. 

Brian Dightman, President of Dightman Capital Group, will become a Senior Wealth Advisor at TRPG. He started his wealth management career in 2002 at RBC Wealth Management and spent the following 6 years learning the industry, which ultimately led to him forming the Registered Investment Advisory firm in 2008. 

Prior to becoming a Wealth Manager, Brian spent a dozen years in the technology industry at a variety of small and large hardware and software companies (Microtek, MetaCreations, aQuantive, Microsoft).

This acquisition aligns with TRPG's ongoing mergers & acquisitions and is supported by Cetera Holdings, enhancing TRPG's position as a premier financial advisor Wealth Hub. Kevin Conard, CEO of TRPG, highlighted the acquisition as a step towards providing independent advisors with more client-focused time by reducing operational business burdens.
