Strategic Asset Management

Strategic Asset Management (SAM) is one of the industry’s most comprehensive investment platforms. You have access to more than 8,000 no-load and load-waived mutual funds from more than 450 fund families. Also, individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, UITs, alternative investments, conservative options, fund of hedge funds, and managed futures. Fee-based variable annuities from Allianz, AXA, Lincoln, Prudential and Sun Life can be held in SAM accounts. The account minimum for SAM is $25,000.

Strategic Asset Management

SAM and SAM II are advisor-driven, fee-based asset management platforms. SAM is identical to the SAM II program with one important distinction, in SAM the investor pays all transaction charges and in SAM II the advisor pays all transaction charges.

SAM assets are consolidated onto a quarterly performance report, making it easy for you and your clients to monitor customized portfolios. SAM and SAM II provide access to:

  • No-load/load-waived mutual funds*
  • Stocks
  • Bonds
  • Unit investment trusts (UITs)
  • Conservative options
  • Funds of hedge funds
  • Managed futures
  • Fee-based variable annuities

* Variable Annuities are sold by prospectus. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity contract and sub-account carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the variable annuity contract and sub-accounts. They can obtain contract and sub-account prospectuses from their LPL Financial advisor. They should read prospectuses carefully before investing.
