H. Beck Goes to Market With New Name, Refreshed Platform The IBD, now called Grove Point Financial, hopes a new brand, tech platform and an IAR-only business model will help ramp up recruiting.
H. Beck, a mid-size independent broker/dealer acquired by Kestra Financial in 2017, is ramping up its recruiting efforts with a new brand, a new technology platform and what executives say is a more formalized service model. The firm also added an IAR-only affiliation model where advisors can drop their FINRA license and operate solely under the IBD’s corporate RIA.
Prior to Kestra, H. Beck was owned by Securian Financial Group, an insurance company. The H. Beck name, which has been around for 37 years, will go away, and the IBD will now be known as Grove Point Financial.
Home for adults with mental illness running at full capacity since opening
A housing unit for adults with mental illness has been operating at full capacity since it opened in Fredericton last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

HALIFAX A home built for adults with complex mental health needs is celebrating one year of being open – entirely during the pandemic. And the non-profit behind the home says while it s been challenging, they know they could be helping more people. Costello House opened on March 25, 2020, named in memory of Const. Robb Costello, a Fredericton police officer who was shot and killed in a 2018 shooting. Costello s widow, Jackie McLean, finds solace volunteering with the non-profit New Brunswick Community Residences, who operates three residences for adults with mental illness – including Costello House. I get a pang of pride and joy every time I say the words Costello House because it really does feel like Robb is living on, she said in an interview with CTV Atlantic.

The New Brunswick review board has denied a treatment team s request to give Matthew Raymond more privileges while in custody.
Raymond, 50, was found not criminally responsible by a jury in November after admitting to shooting and killing Donnie Robichaud and Bobbie Lee Wright from his storage room window at 237 Brookside Dr., then Fredericton Const. Sara Burns and Const. Robb Costello when they responded to calls of shots fired on Aug. 10, 2018.
CAMPBELLTON, N.B. A New Brunswick review board has declined to give new privileges to the man found not criminally responsible in the 2018 killings of four people in Fredericton. Matthew Raymond is being held at the Restigouche Hospital Centre in Campbellton, N.B. In December Justice Larry Landry of the Court of Queen s Bench deemed Raymond high risk and ordered that he be detained in a high-security hospital. Raymond shot and killed Donnie Robichaud and Bobbie Lee Wright, as well as Fredericton police constables Sara Burns and Robb Costello on Aug. 10, 2018. During the nine-week first-degree murder trial, the defence argued Raymond had a mental illness and believed he was defending himself from demons.
