LPL Financial – History of Excellence

Formed in 1989 through the merger of Linsco and Private Ledger (founded in 1968 and 1973, respectively), LPL was built on the belief that objective financial guidance benefits everyone – and advisors are best able to serve clients when they have access to innovative tools and solutions that work for them. Remaining strong in this conviction, in 2010 LPL formed a political action committee to lobby Washington on behalf of advisors and their clients, helping keep the right to objective advice a constant in our industry.

As LPL continues to grow, they regularly update their service offerings, including new platforms and options to ensure advisors, banks, and credit unions have the right tools to meet your needs. Their continued investments in technology and ability to continuously create efficiencies have helped them become a leader in the industry and a trusted partner for your Symbio Financial Partners team.

Today, LPL provides comprehensive support and a broad range of innovative business solutions to a network of more than 14,000 financial advisors. They’ve built a reputation for customized services and personal attention. LPL’s research and conferences, which provides your Symbio team with educational and training opportunities, are renowned throughout the financial industry. As they grow and evolve, they remain committed to the philosophy of objective guidance that has propelled their success and will continue to share our future.

By affiliating with LPL, the Symbio Financial Partners team has chosen to strengthen and elevate the services they provide to help guide you toward your financial goals.

As the nation’s largest independent broker/dealer₁,  an RIA custodian, and leading provider of third-party brokerage services to banks and credit unions₂,  they back the wisdom and experience of your advisor with an enormous catalog of services and resources.
