LPL’s Centrally Managed Assets Exceed $35 Billion

“We continue to focus on delivering choice to our advisors,” said Rob Pettman, LPL executive vice president, Product and Platform Management. “For those advisors who believe they deliver the most value to their clients through services such as financial advice and planning, our centrally managed platforms can be an attractive option by enabling them to outsource investment management activities like research, rebalancing, and trading.”

LPL plans to continue to invest in new capabilities, including its planned launch of the “advisor sleeve” capability in MWP, which it believes can deliver even more value to advisors and increase the appeal of its centrally managed platforms.

There is no assurance that the Centrally Managed platforms discussed are suitable for all investors or will yield positive outcomes. The purchase of certain securities will be required to affect some of the strategies. Investing involves risks including potential loss of principal.
