About LPL
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LPL
Independent Financial Guidance at Scale
LPL Financial is a leading financial services company and the nation’s largest independent wealth management platforms. Their mission is to provide independent financial guidance, and because LPL does not offer proprietary products or engage in investment banking, advisors like us are free to evaluate solutions that are right for you.
This independence matters. It means the recommendations you receive can be guided by your needs, not a product calendar. It means research is independent. And it means the technology and support behind your advisor are designed to serve you.
WHAT SETS LPL APART
The LPL Difference
A Full Suite of Resources
LPL provides a comprehensive array of tools, research, technology, and practice management support, equipping advisors with institutional-grade resources.
Schedule a ConversationThe Nation’s Leading Independent Advisory Platform
As the nation’s leading independent advisory platform, LPL combines the scale and stability of a major financial institution with the independence that allows your advisor to put your interests first.
Schedule a ConversationNo Proprietary Products
Because LPL does not create its own investment products, there is no pressure for your advisor to recommend in-house funds or securities. This independence means advice is based on what is appropriate for your needs.
Schedule a ConversationNo Investment Banking Conflicts
LPL does not engage in investment banking activities — so your advisor has no incentive to steer you toward deals, IPOs, or securities offerings designed to benefit the firm rather than your portfolio.

How the Network Works for You
Rigorous Due Diligence
Every provider is selected through an in-depth evaluation of their longevity, reputation, business structure, advisor support capabilities, and client information handling practices.
Competitive Strategies

Personalized Experience
The PCSN bridges the gap between the personalized guidance of your independent advisor and the nuanced, specialized services typically reserved for institutional clients.
These specialized services are available through referral arrangements with third-party providers vetted by LPL. Contact us to learn how these expanded capabilities may support your overall wealth management strategy.
Why the LPL Relationship Matters for You
When you work with Strategic Wealth Planning, you get the best of both worlds: the personal attention and boutique service of a family-led financial services practice, backed by the institutional resources, technology, and regulatory infrastructure of the nation’s largest independent broker-dealer*.
This combination means your advisor has the freedom to act in your best interest, while having access to the tools, research, and support needed to deliver sophisticated strategies typically reserved for much larger institutions.
