"As an independent, gay advisor who is very active within our local LGBTQ+ professional and non-profit communities, it’s important to be affiliated with a firm that walks the walk. LPL has consistently received a perfect 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index 2023-2024, an annual national benchmarking survey measuring corporate policies and practices. Showing this commitment to LGBTQ+ equality is necessary to retain and attract new advisors to LPL from within our community and helps send a critical message to our existing and future clients."
