What does LPL Financial Provide?
About LPL Financial:
LPL Financial (Nasdaq: LPLA) was founded on the principle that the firm should work for the advisor, and not the other way around. Today, LPL is a leader in the markets we serve, supporting more than 29,000 financial advisors, more than 1,200 institution-based investment programs and 500 independent RIA firms nationwide. We are steadfast in our commitment to the advisor-centered model and the belief that Americans deserve access to personalized guidance from a financial advisor. At LPL, independence means that advisors have the freedom they deserve to choose the business model, services, and technology resources that allow them to run their perfect practice. And they have the freedom to manage their client relationships, because they know their clients best. Simply put, we take care of our advisors, so they can take care of their clients.
LPL Financial serves as our back office support and brokerage service. Think of it like a football team: our advisors work with you in a coaching capacity, with LPL serving as the team that carries out the plays. They also enable us to offer a variety of other benefits:
Our integrated, web-based technology platform allows customers to manage critical aspects of their business while remaining highly efficient and responsive to their clients’ needs. Time-consuming processes—such as account opening and management, document imaging, transaction execution, and account rebalancing—are automated to improve efficiency and accuracy. With LPL focused on technology, advisors are able to focus on what is most important: Meeting client investment objectives.

Yes, as a registered broker-dealer, I usually receive a fee for the market value of the advisory assets I manage on behalf of my clients; however, I am able to offer brokerage services and am required to consider whether non-fee based services would be in the best interest of clients depending on their specific situation.
