LPL Financial

As the Fed promises to cut rates, investors are eagerly awaiting a drop in bond yields — and a big jump in prices.

The broker-dealer self-regulator accused the firm of failing to properly record more than 830,000 transactions, among other violations.

LPL Financial, Cetera Financial Group, Raymond James, Ameriprise and other industry giants drove a much bigger volume of transitions this year.

Three financial giants have published reports on what they expect in 2024 — and they're surprisingly optimistic. Here's what they see coming.

The deal displays the growing flexibility LPL is offering financial advisors as part of its ambition to reach the entire wealth management marketplace.

In remarks at a Goldman Sachs investor conference, Dan Arnold discussed the potential rule and shared his view of the industry's competitive landscape.

The giant independent broker-dealer said Wednesday that it had created a new channel to target wirehouse advisors with high net worth practices.

The leading IBD firm is eager to dominate the entire advisor industry, following another strong quarter for recruiting.

CEO Dan Arnold said on the firm's last earnings call that the tools were "receiving positive early feedback and demand in the marketplace."

LPL's employee channel has proved popular since its 2019 launch, and recently announced its first $1B team. Here's how that move happened and where Linsco goes from here.

The bank team was seeking a place to support its growth in providing boutique 'concierge' services, while maintaining autonomy.

The firm's record headcount could grow even higher after it joined the constantly expanding group of dealmakers competing to buy retiring advisors' businesses.

The father-and-son firm Francis Group cites client demand and freedom from sales goals as reasons for their move.

Despite falling stock and bond values last year, firms operating in the channel collectively boosted their business. These are the biggest companies among them.

Independent branches are playing a pivotal role in the industry — regardless of anyone's opinion or awareness of them.

The strategic relationship agreement carries big potential profits. Here's how the firms plan to ease the transition of 2,600 financial advisors by the end of 2024.

The announcement came only a day after the largest independent brokerage firm added a big bank-based wealth program with $4.7 billion.

The latest incoming recruit to the firm's Institution Services unit followed a half dozen other big moves by the firm in the bank and credit union channel in recent years.

The third time was the charm for LPL, which failed twice to win the big team it finally recruited this month. Here's what worked this time around.

The move comes as LPL boasts hefty profit gains in earnings and Kestra struggles with debt.
