Kennewick, WA 8350 W Grandridge Blvd Office

LPL Financial is an SEC‑registered investment adviser and broker‑dealer that serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth and non‑HNW clients), retirement plans and plan participants, banks, credit unions, corporations, and charitable organizations through a national network of investment adviser representatives (IARs). The firm offers financial planning, a variety of advisory programs (wrap, model and TAMP offerings), retirement plan consulting, 529 account management, and brokerage services, with program descriptions and client agreements provided through the IARs.

The firm provides both discretionary and non‑discretionary management across its programs and makes available model portfolios and research from LPL Research, third‑party subadvisors, and TAMP sponsors; LPL Research describes strategic (three‑ to five‑year) and tactical model approaches and supports diversified and alternative strategies. LPL also offers overlay portfolio management, direct indexing options, the Bank Wealth Program for institutional clients, and participant advice programs (IPA/OPA), and discloses use of technologies such as machine learning along with broad risk disclosures for many security types.

Compared with many peers, LPL’s brochure documents a substantial scope of non‑advisory product activity—an affiliated insurance agency (LPLIA) and continued insurance product sales by IARs, a collateralized lending program including LPL’s Secured Credit Account, and a credit‑card offering through a partner bank—alongside its advisory businesses. The brochure also discloses that LPL advertises performance results but does not present hypothetical performance, and it includes a summary of recent regulatory enforcement matters and remedial undertakings.
