2018 was an active year for LPL and our industry. We
saw the passage of the Senior $afe Act, actively promoted a best
interest standard of care, advocated for preserving and enhancing
incentives for retirement savings, just to name a few. The LPL
Government Relations team also launched the
LPL 50-State Network made up of LPL advisors and employees across
the country. This grassroots network provides a local connection with
policymakers in Washington, DC, as well as the states. Please
view this video for an overview of our program. For more highlights

Prosperous New Year!
