Sean Tyll and Tracy Applewhite choose LPL’s employee model to build something special

Applewhite and Tyll weren’t ready to make the jump to fully operating a business on their own when they learned about Linsco by LPL Financial, a new employee model that allows them to work in a W-2 capacity with the full support of LPL. “This model was absolutely perfect for us,” Applewhite said. “We think it is going to be perfect for a lot of advisors who want to make that leap to independence but with less risk.”

Mike Ashworth wishes he left the wirehouse for LPL’s Strategic Wealth Services model even sooner

Looking back to his time at the wirehouse, Ashworth notices a marked difference now that the headaches, red tape, and bureaucracy have been removed. As a business owner, he gets to decide where he wants to spend his times–with his clients–and assigns the tasks he’s not interested in to LPL. “I’ve gotten more new clients in the last year than I probably had gotten the previous three or four years, before coming here,” Ashworth said.

Denika Tokunaga left the wirehouse in 2014 to start her independent practice with LPL

Tokunaga was looking for a new way to do business–she wanted support without having the organization tell her what types of products to use for her clients. “As a sole practitioner, having the breadth and strength of all of LPL’s resources means everything to me,” she said. Tokunaga also sought a leading technology platform and is leveraging the “amazing” offering at LPL. “As a financial advisor, technology is everything,” she added. And not just any technology, “but the latest and greatest.”
