About LPL Financial
As Wealth Advisors, we guide individuals and families toward their financial well being. As a team, we simplify and organize financial situations, develop financial goals and implement strategies for financial independence. One of our clients biggest concerns is being able to live comfortably today, while preparing for the future.
Our financial strategies are based upon the belief that by providing objective advice and making investment adjustments, as economic or lifestyle conditions warrant, we can make a significant impact on your financial well-being. We want to be the go to company for your financial issues.
In guiding our clients in their investment selections, we are conservative in our asset allocations, which is reflected in a diversified portfolio. We do not believe in a “one product fits all" strategy. We incorporate a large variety of strategies and diversification into your investments, so we can help you pursue your goals.
Our goals are your goals. We prioritize and strategically come up with a financial plan that makes sense for you. Guiding you toward financial well-being.We believe in nurturing long-term relationships with our client's, allowing us to consider you our friend.
No strategy assures success or protects against loss.There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.

The markets change quickly and we need to ensure our recommendations are poised to keep up with those changes.

Our goal is to identify above-average investment opportunities positioned to outperform, conduct ongoing and thorough due diligence, while providing quality recommendations with complete transparency.
Portfolio Strategy and Research Analysis
The portfolio strategy team determines the asset allocation models based on relationships between risk and reward, and then selects the combinations of managers to populate each portfolio based on a variety of factors. We work closely with the research analytics team that provides key data through the use of statistical tools such as regression, optimization, and attribution analysis to determine the value that an investment has added to portfolio performance over time.
