Bringing Our Mission to Life

LPL employees all live by our mission to take care of advisors so they can take care of their clients.

We appreciate initiative and encourage innovation. We welcome fresh perspectives and expect openness to new ideas. Collaboration — within our advisor and employee communities — is the norm.

We’re always in learning mode, drawing on data, analytics, and feedback from our customers and colleagues. If we don’t have answers, we find them. If we encounter problems, we solve them. If we have ideas, we share them.

No matter the circumstance, we proceed with integrity. Doing what’s right earns us trust — from our financial professionals and each other.
