Capital light business model with flexible allocation framework
We're delivering new liquidity and succession capabilities for
advisors seeking to transition
Background: Solving a need in the marketplace
■ ~1/3 of advisors are expected to retire or leave the industry over the next
decade - representing $8.5T of AUM+
Historically, advisors' options were limited:
Sell to a larger aggregator that may pay an enhanced price, but take
control from the advisor
• Transact with a local advisor, but often at a below-market price
Our response: New Liquidity & Succession solutions
New LPL capability to buy practices from advisors seeking a pathway to
retirement, looking to free themselves from entrepreneurial burdens, and/
or looking for monetization
Economics - Allows advisor to monetize their business through a
market-competitive transaction
✓ Support – Empowers advisors through a fully dedicated support model,
allowing advisors to rededicate their time and energy to client service
✓ Transition – Transitions ownership of the business to successor
advisors over time
