About LPL Financial

LPL Financial is the number one independent broker/dealer in the country. LPL Financial seeks to fulfill your needs with suitable options from a wide range of the nation’s top provider of:

• Mutual funds
• Comprehensive asset management accounts
• Variable and fixed annuities
• Individual stocks and bonds
• Estate, college, business, tax and retirement planning
• Domestic and foreign securities
• Alternative investments
• Insurance
• Trust services.

In recent years, independent brokerage firms – those offering the products of many non-affiliated companies – have grown rapidly. Many of the most successful investment professionals have come to realize the value of independence – both for themselves and their clients – and want to provide unbiased and independent advice.

Since its inception, LPL Financial has stood at the forefront of this growing market as the most truly independent firm in the industry. Independence at LPL Financial offers freedom of product choice, quality service, regulatory expertise and superior technological capabilities.

 

Your Advisor is a Seasoned, Autonomous Professional

 

Advisors who work with LPL Financial must have the experience and dedication necessary to build a successful and self-directed practice. This autonomy allows them to concentrate their efforts on the aspects of financial services where they are strongest and can be of the greatest help to you, the client.

 

Your Needs Come First

 

LPL Financial offers no investment products of its own, so advisors who work with LPL Financial can devote their time and energies not to product quotas and sales goals, but to understanding your individual financial objectives. To help them meet your needs with suitable options, LPL Financial provides access to thousands of individual securities and forms alliances with the nation’s leading providers of investment and insurance products.

 

Trading on Technology and Experience

 

LPL Financial technology enables speedy, straight-through processing of equity and bond trades directly from your advisor’s BranchNet interface, and the LPL Financial trading desk is staffed with experienced traders who can help advisors obtain more advantageous pricing.

 

Simplified Recordkeeping Makes It Easier for You

 

Your advisor counts on LPL Financial to keep track of all your transactions throughout the year. Consolidated statements make it easy to track your progress over time and simplify tax reporting, too. End-of-year summary statements collect all your important information, including purchases, sales, cost basis, income and dividend distributions, in a single report.

 

Unbiased Investment Research

 

Because LPL Financial doesn’t offer proprietary products and doesn’t engage in investment banking activities, we are able to provide unbiased investment recommendations that integrate a broad scope of investment products, including stocks, bonds, annuities, and mutual funds.

If you prefer a more comprehensive approach, advisors who work with LPL Financial can formulate a personalized investment management strategy. Our fee-based asset management programs range from one that may combine mutual funds, individual securities, and a no-loan annuity in a single portfolio to one that uses leading institutional money managers. Advisors who work with LPL Financial also have access to proprietary software for integrated estate, retirement and college planning.

 

Account Protection

 

The LPL Financial SIPC membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per customer, of which $250,000 may be claims for cash. For an explanatory brochure, visit www.sipc.org. Additionally, through London Insurers, LPL Financial accounts have additional securities protection to cover the net equity of customer accounts up to an overall aggregate firm limit of $575 million subject to condition and limitations.

 

FDIC-insured Case Accounts

 

Through the LPL Financial multi-bank insured Cash Account Program, deposits are eligible for up to $1.5 million of deposit insurance for individual or trust accounts, and up to $3 million of deposit insurance for joint accounts through the FDIC. At each bank, your Insured Cash Account deposits are insured by the FDIC to a maximum amount of $250,000 (including principal and accrued interest) when aggregated with all other deposits held by you in the same recognized legal capacity (e.g., individual, joint, IRA, etc.) at the same bank. For example, if you have an individual or trust brokerage account, you would be eligible for up to $250,000 of FDIC deposit insurance per bank. If you and your spouse have a joint account, your account would be eligible for up to $500,000 of FDIC deposit insurance per bank. If you have any questions about FDIC insurance coverage, visit www.fdic.gov. Keep in mind that other investment holdings are subject to loss.
