A Year Later: Use of LPL Financial’s GWP Platform is Growing Quicker than Any Other Platform in LPL History

“It has been exciting to see so many advisors put this platform to work for their business,” said Rob Pettman, LPL executive vice president, Product and Platform Management. “With over 4,000 active accounts, we’ve received valuable feedback that has enabled us to make many enhancements to create an even better digital experience for advisors and their clients. We will continue to make sure the platform is adding value to advisors and helping them to differentiate their practices.”

Recent enhancements have been made to GWP’s landing page, the investor onboarding experience and advisor dashboards, along with an additional capacity that enables advisor teams to collaborate within the platform.

Julia Carlson, founder of Financial Freedom Wealth Management Group, is GWP’s most active user with over 170 clients utilizing the platform to manage their accounts. “GWP has helped tremendously with my team’s capacity and efficiency,” said Carlson. “The platform saves advisors and their support staff’s time, allowing us to focus on the relationship with our clients. The platform’s recent enhancements have gotten more intuitive from the client perspective and more user friendly for the advisor, especially with the latest edition of allowing team members to access the dashboard.”
