The firm formed in 1989 from the merger of Linsco and Private Ledger and became the largest independent broker-dealer in the United States by serving advisors who want to own their practices. It provides custody, compliance, technology, and product access while advisors keep client relationships and a large share of revenue. Growth has come from recruiting advisors away from banks and wirehouses and from acquiring smaller broker-dealers. Cash sweep economics and advisory asset levels drive results. Headquarters are in San Diego.

LPL Financial equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge LPLA stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and LPLA's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current LPLA option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does LPL Financial grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
