Frequently Asked Questions


Will my accounts held at LPL have SIPC account protection?
Yes.
LPL Financial is a member firm of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per client, of which $250,000 may be claims for cash. For an explanatory brochure, please visit http://www.sipc.org/. Additionally, through London Insurers, LPL Financial accounts have additional securities protection to cover the net equity of client accounts up to an overall aggregate firm limit of $600,000,000, subject to conditions and limitations.
The 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.

How do I set up online access?
Our secure client account access portal is called Account View. Please click on the button below to download the setup guide and then click on the Account Login button on the upper right hand corner of our main home page to begin.
The following instructions are important in Account View when setting up accounts to go paperless:
- After checking the box for paperless in Account View, or submitting an Electronic Prospectus form, a company named Broadridge will send you an email or letter with instructions on how to complete the process.
- The communication from Broadridge requests that you log into http://www.investordelivery.com to complete the process of turning off prospectus and client shareholder mailings from fund companies.
Electronic Delivery (E-Delivery) – Prospectuses
If you elected e-delivery, the sponsor may mail a hard copy prospectus to you under the following circumstances:
- If email delivery is rejected by your internet service provider, and
- If an electronic version of the prospectus in not available.

How do I securely send you documents?

LPL uses a secure email service called Proofpoint and when we send you a secure email through Proofpoint, it will ask you to create a username and password. Make sure you have a way to remember the username and password as we will periodically send documents securely.
The other way to send us secure documents is through Account View. Please click on the button below to download the instructions on how to do that.

What is a Virtual Financial Planner?
A Virtual Financial Planner is a professional that delivers their services primarily over the phone and over the internet. Although some people still prefer face-to-face meetings, virtual advice is becoming more and more popular. Utilizing screen sharing technology and/or secure email with my clients has become the chassis of how I deliver advice. This method is more efficient for clients and advisors alike as it eliminates trying to carve time out of your busy day commuting to and from an appointment.
