LPL’ s Support and Innovative Technology

Looking for enhanced support and innovative technology, Sheehy chose to move his business to LPL Financial. “It was time to catch up with technology and do more business electronically. I was still using paper for everything, so this move to LPL is going to really help me get my life back,” he said. “I love that forms automatically populate in ClientWorks, and I’m especially excited about how clients can visually track their portfolio in Account View. There’s no doubt that LPL technology is going to bring so much more to my client interactions.” Sheehy added that LPL’s self-clearing capabilities will reduce costs and save time.
