About

Commonwealth Financial Network is a dual‑registered broker/dealer and SEC‑registered investment adviser that serves a national network of approximately 2,900 affiliated advisors and hundreds of thousands of individual and institutional clients, managing roughly $212.7 billion in client assets. The firm offers a broad adviser‑support platform that includes discretionary and nondiscretionary managed‑account programs (PPS Custom, PPS Select, PPS Direct), access to third‑party asset managers, retirement and plan consulting, and custody/clearing services.

Advisors work with clients to define goals and risk tolerance and may implement portfolios using Commonwealth’s internally managed model portfolios (Investment Management and Research team) or by outsourcing execution and model implementation to third‑party platforms and subadvisers (for example, Envestnet, SEI, and Orion). Commonwealth acts as a wrap‑fee program sponsor and back‑office provider—covering trading, reporting, and householding—while offering a mix of mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities, annuity subaccounts, and personalized indexing and tax‑aware options.

Noteworthy aspects disclosed in the firm’s brochure include its acquisition by LPL Financial Holdings, Inc. on August 1, 2025 and recent regulatory matters, including a March 2026 SEC judgment that resulted in a $5,000,000 civil penalty and earlier SEC enforcement related to mutual fund share‑class disclosures. The firm also discloses material conflicts arising from its clearing and sweep arrangements—notably revenue‑sharing with its clearing firm—and a range of advisor compensation and transition incentives (administrative‑fee discounts, graduated payouts, and forgivable loans) that can affect program availability and recommendation incentives.
