LPL Financial History

LPL Financial was formed in 1989 through the merger of two small but successful brokerage firms, Linsco (established in 1968) and Private Ledger (founded in 1973). By merging these two companies, the founders of LPL Financial sought to create a formidable alternative to Wall Street firms, one where financial advisors could build highly competitive businesses while always doing what was right for their clients. Today, we are the largest independent broker/dealer in the country.* Our success has been driven by a commitment to enable our customers to reduce the complexity of running and managing a successful business.

In 2005, LPL Financial sold a 60% ownership stake to two private equity partners, Hellman & Friedman LLC and Texas Pacific Group. LPL Financial and our equity partners are strongly committed to maintaining the independence of the firm, with a shared vision of our future success.
