Partial Book Sales

Create capacity to do more.

You’re in the business of helping people succeed. As your practice grows, you may find yourself spread too thin — especially if your book consists of clients with divergent needs, service expectations, and account sizes.

Whether in growth mode or evolving your niche, LPL’s Partial Book Sales helps you create capacity and regain focus on your goals.

Key Benefits

Create capacity - Transfer accounts that no longer fit your model so you can regain focus on your business goals.

FAQs

How does it work?

Powered by a digital platform, completing a partial book sale is seamless. You’ll identify accounts that no longer fit your business model, and then be guided through the submission, approval, and payout process. Once designated accounts are transferred to LPL, clients will be welcomed by the Investor Focused Solutions team of advisors, who assume responsibility for the ongoing relationship.

For more information about the process, which blends the power of automation with a high-touch transition process for clients, visit the Partial Book Sales page on the Resource Center (login to ClientWorks required).

What account types should I include in a partial book sale?

LPL does not pick and choose which accounts to buy. We only act upon those accounts you’ve identified. We do, however, have a few basic guidelines. For example, corporate advisory, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, annuities, and similar products are all acceptable assuming the account data is in good order.

For more specifics on acceptable accounts, visit the Partial Book Sales page on the Resource Center (login to ClientWorks required).

What happens to the clients I’ve included in my partial book sale?

Your transitioned clients will receive ongoing advice and service from the LPL Investor Focused Solutions team. After the transfer, the team immediately initiates outreach and assumes responsibility for the client relationships. The onboarding experience is seamless, welcoming, and engaging and is intended to reinforce the notion that their advisor has acted in their best interest in transferring the relationship.
