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 financial professionals are best able to serve clients when they have access to innovative tools and solutions that work for them.  Remaining strong in this conviction, LPL formed a political action committee to lobby in Washington on behalf of financial professionals 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 opinions to ensure financial professionals, banks, and credit unions have the right tools to meet your needs.  LPL’s continued investments in technology and creating efficiencies have helped them become a leader in the industry, and a trusted partner for your financial professional.
