LPL invites 180 of its bigger-book reps to Dana Point as part of its latest Fortigent-fortified bid to move upmarket
Attendees said fast-talking presenters belied LPL's aspirations but perhaps bolstered its claim that the hoi polloi won't be forgotten

An interesting article marred by sloppy copy. An editor needs to go into this story and clean it up a bit. It is a grammatical mess in a number of places.
It remains to be seen if LPL can truly make in-roads with high-net-worth and ultrahigh-net-worth investors and the advisors serving them in a meaningful way. The company is plagued [still] by service and technology challenges. Advisors serving the mass affluent have a tough enough time getting correct answers from the service centers and internal business units for relatively straight-forward matters. One can only wonder how well equipped it is to handle the more exotic and complex the HNW/UHNW client presents. Despite all the soothing comments coming from executives, it really has a long way to go before in service and tech before it can be taken seriously in this segment.
