Partial Book Sales

Create capacity to do more

You’re in the business of helping people succeed. As your practice grows, you may find yourself spread too thin — especially if your book consists of clients with divergent needs, service expectations, and account sizes.

Whether in growth mode or evolving your niche, LPL’s Partial Book Sales helps you create capacity and regain focus on your goals.

 

Key Benefits

  • Seamless client transition - After the transfer, the LPL Investor Focused Solutions team immediately initiates communication and assumes responsibility for the client relationship. This ensures your former clients receive ongoing financial advice and services.

LPL does not pick and choose which accounts to buy. We only act upon those accounts you’ve identified. We do, however, have a few basic guidelines. For example, corporate advisory, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, annuities, and similar products are all acceptable assuming the account data is in good order.

For more specifics on acceptable accounts, visit the Partial Book Sales page on the Resource Center (login to ClientWorks required).
