LPL Financial’s Advisor Sleeve Exceeds $2 Billion in Assets

Innovative Solution Makes Money Management Easier for LPL Advisors

Growing Part of LPL’s $50B+ AUM Centrally Managed Platforms

SAN DIEGO, May 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , a leading retail investment advisory firm, RIA custodian and independent broker-dealer, today announced that the firm’s Advisor Sleeve assets have surpassed $2 billion, less than a year after the investment solution was broadly launched to LPL advisors. Built on LPL’s centrally managed Model Wealth Portfolios (MWP) platform, the solution is designed to help advisors gain scale and efficiency with the ability to outsource operational functions associated with managing custom models.

“It is remarkable that we hit this milestone in the midst of global disruption. It shows the value LPL advisors have to their clients, by helping them manage risk and provide ongoing advice that helps them stay focused on their goals,” said Rob Pettman, LPL Financial executive vice president, Product and Platform Management.

Advisor Sleeve enables advisors to act as strategists while outsourcing daily operational tasks such as model management, trading, and rebalancing to LPL. Leveraging the risk scoring methodology from AdvisoryWorld, advisors can use Advisor Sleeve to build models tailored to specific investment objectives and actively monitor portfolio allocations to help ensure risk exposure remains aligned with investor preferences. In March, LPL expanded the number of models advisors can create from 10 to 15 models, providing additional flexibility in response to recent market disruption.

“Centrally managed platforms are resonating with advisory practices because of the efficiencies they deliver. As part of MWP, Advisor Sleeve, in particular, is a compelling solution because it affords both customization and ease. Advisors are finding value in being able to deliver their unique portfolio designs in a way that is scalable and simple,” said Pettman.
