ABOUT LPL FINANCIAL

LPL Financial was founded with a pioneering vision to help entrepreneurial financial advisors establish successful businesses through which they could offer truly independent financial guidance and advice. Today they provide an integrated platform of proprietary technology, brokerage and investment advisory services to over 16,000 financial advisors as the nation’s largest independent broker/ dealer [1], making them a leading distributor of financial products in the United States. In addition, LPL Financial supports over 4,000 financial advisors with customized clearing, advisory platform and technology solutions. Even as the firm has grown over the years, they remain singularly focused on helping financial advisors to manage the complexity of their investment practices so they can better serve their clients in achieving important financial goals. And, because they do not offer proprietary products, LPL Financial enables the independent financial advisors, banks and credit unions with whom they partner to offer their client advice. Their open-architecture platform provides our customers with access to thousands of commission, fee-based, cash and money market products manufactured by hundreds of third-party product sponsors.
