Can you afford not to have a financial adviser?
Whether your financial affairs are relatively simple or very complex,
working with a professional financial adviser can help provide financial
security. A financial adviser can provide insight on how to:
- Fund your retirement: Even if you have accumulated the financial resources for what could be 15, 20 or 30 years of retirement, you will need a plan to maximize and protect those assets for as long as possible.
- Purchase a quality education: College costs continue to rise at an average annual rate of 3% to 5%.
- Develop a realistic investment plan: A plan should seek to achieve your desired level of return without taking on more risk (or more kinds of risk) than you can tolerate.
- Protect current and future assets: Without proper insurance and estate planning, all your other planning could be wasted, depleted by circumstances beyond your control.
What can a financial adviser do for you?
Offer prudent and timely advice
As an investment professional, a financial adviser has a greater understanding of the economy and markets; more time to evaluate financial strategies; and greater access to comprehensive information. The independent financial advisers affiliated with LPL also can make use of unique, firsthand research of mutual funds; multiple sources of traditional reviews of individual securities and mutual funds; and proprietary software for integrated estate, retirement and college planning.

Monitor and manage your
personalized strategy
A qualified financial adviser can build long-term strategies that
balance your financial objectives and constraints, your time horizon
and your tolerance for risk, then measure them against your short
and long-term goals.
Simplify the Decisions
A financial adviser's job is to pare down the choices--more than 9,400 mutual funds, plus thousands of annuities, insurance options and individual securities--to those that fit your parameters. By identifying appropriate options--including ones that are difficult to discover on your own--and focusing on your objectives, an adviser can save you considerable time and effort.
Ensure accountability
Last but certainly not least, financial advisers ensure that each entity involved (you, the adviser, and all other suppliers of financial products and services) understands what it must contribute to help make your plans work.
