LPL Financial celebrates 30 years of innovation in consulting
CHARLOTTE, NC, December 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – LPL Financial LLC (Nasdaq: LPLA) announced today the 30e anniversary of its Strategic Asset Management (SAM) advisory platform, one of the very first fully paid platforms in the financial services industry. The platform paved the way for continuous innovation in business consulting. Today, LPL manages nearly $ 600 billion in advisory assets, including nearly $ 300 billion in assets in SAM, and the company is a leading custodian of AIR, institutional programs and independent advisors, supporting the provision of personalized financial advice **.
The concept of SAM grew out of ideas and feedback from LPL advisors who expressed their desire for a platform that could host multiple mutual funds under one account and allow them to charge clients an annual fee rather than commissions. . The platform was launched in 1991 and has been widely adopted by LPL advisers. She amassed $ 5 billion in assets in just a few short years, driving growing differentiation for LPL and the company’s ability to shape the future of consulting.
“With the introduction of the SAM platform 30 years ago, LPL and our advisors were at the forefront of revolutionary change, leading the industry to a more personalized way of offering financial advice,” said Rob Pettman, executive vice president of LPL, Wealth Management. . “Today, we maintain our commitment to consulting partnership, consulting innovation and the future of consulting. Our goal is to equip our RIAs, institutional programs and independent advisors with the most diverse and compelling suite of wealth management solutions in the industry, empowering them to differentiate their practices and deliver exceptional service to their clients. . As we look to 2022, we’ll showcase other innovations that give our advisors more choice, convenience and control. “
