WHY OCIO

Taking Complexity Out of the Day-to-Day

From keeping up with compliance to managing portfolios, the demands advisors face these days place limits on your all-important client-facing time. An outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) changes that, taking the investment management function out of the equation so you can focus on what matters most.

Backed by LPL Research, Built Around Your Business

LPL OCIO Services empowers you to deliver institution-grade investment management directly to clients. Your clients remain completely yours, while our three-pronged approach works for you.

  • Deep industry experience from LPL Research. A dedicated team by your side, the full 45+ member team in the wings — and it’s all from the people who power LPL’s investment strategy.
  • Customization. Your investment philosophy is integrated into everything created for you, including governance and guidance, model portfolios, and more.
  • Partnership. Acting as an extension of your business, you can expect a collaborative relationship, all designed to help you stand out from others. 

  

Comprehensive Offering That's Rooted in Flexibility

Every business has different needs, which is why there’s no one-size solution. Whether you need minimal assistance or something more robust, seamless OCIO support and collaboration is the goal.
