Why Technology Could Be Your Key to Growth

Technology has emerged as a clear and critical differentiator for advisors. Both advisors and broker/dealers alike who view technology as a key priority may have a significant strategic advantage in this increasingly tech-savvy marketplace. It becomes a critical factor in creating efficiencies and fueling growth.

"In most of the marketplace, we still see that individuals prefer to receive advice from a trusted financial professional who will help them plan to solve their problems, but just as importantly provide ongoing support and make sure they execute that plan."

Dan Arnold, president and CEO of LPL Financial
