WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

1. “LPL Financial is providing our advisory team the broker/dealer platform we need to build Louisville's premier financial planning and wealth management firm. We should have joined LPL Financial two years ago when we first had the chance. Best in the business.”

- Rob Davenport, CFP, CLTC

2. “Our group joined LPL Financial because of the independent model, open architecture and comprehensive technology platform. We were especially impressed with the company's singular business model of supporting independent financial advisors.

Since joining LPL Financial, our branch and individual advisors have grown their practices at a rate beyond our expectations. All the reasons we joined LPL Financial are still valid today. The reputation of LPL Financial within the broker/dealer community has greatly aided our development as a branch. The strong advisory fee-based platforms have helped our group make a transition from commission-based practices to more blended practices. We are excited about the growth plan within our branch and the expansion taking place at LPL Financial.”

3. “I'm wishing I would have made the move to LPL Financial sooner. Even though I have 10% less in assets after my transition, I'm making more money.”

- Karl Dimler

4. “I have almost tripled my business since coming to LPL Financial. The support and technology provided by LPL Financial has been priceless.”

- James Buley

5. “I’ve been affiliated with LPL Financial since 1996 and still consider it the best business decision I’ve made. Before entering the retail securities business, I was responsible for national account relationships for a medium-sized mutual fund company. During this time, I learned about all of the internal mechanics of the broker dealer world, including all of the inside deals, quotas, and requirements that aren’t immediately visible on the surface. I chose LPL Financial because of their independent corporate philosophy and their freedom from those negative influences. The result has been that LPL Financial enables me to be completely fair and objective with my clients. And being able to do the right thing for my clients is the most important ingredient in growing my business.”

- Douglas Newman

6. “I am very pleased with my relationship with LPL Financial. I actually didn't choose to join LPL Financial, as my broker/dealer was purchased by them back in 2004 (although I had considered leaving my old b/d in the past and LPL Financial was at the top of my list of places to go).

The independence, investment platforms and research I get from LPL Financial are all top notch. They are a very forward thinking company that I feel always has their fingers on the pulse of the industry. We are hopeful for a long and prosperous relationship with LPL Financial!”

- Leonard F. Valletta, CFP(R), MS

7. “I never realized how much I loved technology until I came to LPL Financial. The client management systems, reporting, investment platforms, record keeping, client communications (are all) excellent! There is more than I can get my hands around and I have to say that I feel more professional with all of these tools. There isn't much I can't provide for my clients. So not only am I picking up revenue from unexpected sources, I am also not leaving any money on the table. Although the move was unexpected, it has been the single most productive change to my practice.”

- Patricia A. Collins CLU, ChFC

8.“My efficiency jumped 30% the day I joined LPL Financial.”
