LPL is the WORST company ever ! Terminated my wife's employment on Friday, Dec 13 of last year. No notice, no reason, no nothing. She was an award winning, Superstar employee with 30 years of service. She was always overworked and underpaid. I wouldn't let LPL manage my Piggybank.

The worst financial company i have ever had to deal with.  Incompetence in every direction.  Dragging out beneficiary claims for 3 months with no progress. Each sibbling spending countless hours trying to get straight answers.  Will be filing Complaints with the Missouri AG.

Asset custodians are the central players in the RIA business and choosing one is the biggest decision most financial advisors will make to build their business. As the place where RIAs park their assets (the same way a captive broker would park assets at Merrill Lynch or UBS), custodians serve hundreds or thousands of these registered investment advisors and make big investments in technology and service on their clients' behalf.

This section features a series of articles under the “Asset Custody Project” label that cover these companies in a way that keeps advisors abreast of their progress – both with journalistic commentary and a common set of data so that advisors can easily compare them. The articles look at the strengths, weaknesses and niche capabilities of these companies.
