About LPL Financial Our business model • One of the distinguishing characteristics of our business model is that LPL does not engage in the business practices of investment banks or provide other alternative financial services. We do not engage in market-making activities nor do we engage in proprietary trading for our own account. Our trading activities are focused solely on facilitating trades for our advisors’ clients, and not on speculative trading for the firm’s own account. In addition, we have no exposure to mortgagerelated investments or securities, nor do we provide loans to hedge funds or other speculators. Financial performance and liquidity position • As a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member firm subject to the federal securities laws and the rules of industry self-regulatory organizations, LPL has always carried out our obligations to protect client assets in our custody with the utmost care and scrupulous adherence to financial protection rules, including those governing the segregation of customer assets. Moreover, LPL maintains net capital well in excess of requirements set out by our regulators; as of March 31, 2014, we exceeded our net capital requirement by $173. 7 million. Counter-party risk assessment • Our Governance, Risk, and Compliance department routinely reviews our counter-party risk as well as those LPL does business with to limit our exposure to risk. The team monitors all outstanding debits and credits and the firms that clear those trades to ensure they are healthy and do not pose a risk to LPL or our advisors’ clients. This process includes extensive research, due diligence, financial analysis, and forward-looking measures of financial strength and sustainability. Client account protection • LPL is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Membership provides protection for client accounts up to $500, 000, of which $250, 000 may be claims for cash, in the unlikely event that LPL were to fail financially. (For an explanatory brochure, visit www. sipc. org. ) Moreover, LPL accounts have additional securities protection to cover the net equity of client accounts up to an overall aggregate firm limit of $575, 000, subject to conditions and limitations. This coverage is underwritten by London Insurers through the Lloyds of London syndicates. Account protection applies when a SIPC member firm fails financially and is unable to meet its obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against losses from the rise and fall in the market value of investments. This extensive coverage reflects a strong commitment to serving your investment needs. 9
