As an independent advisor, you own your client relationships and the associated book of business, and you can retain more of the revenue you generate through our bonus payout structure. We’re committed to supporting every advisor and every kind of practice with independent research, enterprising compliance proficiency, state-of-the-art technology, and dedicated resources to foster business success.

No matter how carefully you have run your practice, there are often factors beyond your control, such as the recent increases in government regulations and deteriorating margin conditions.

At LPL Financial, we understand the challenges of today’s financial environment, and specifically the effect these changes have had on broker/dealers and on advisors’ practices. When you partner with LPL Financial, you’re affiliated with the largest independent broker/dealer in the country.* We want to partner with you to ensure the success of your practice for years to come.

Enhanced practice efficiency

Your focus as an independent advisor is to service your clients and build your business. Making the most of every minute counts—saving time and effort on administrative or managerial tasks allows for more time to build quality client relationships.
