3. PRIVATE ADVISOR GROUP IS TODAY’S HYBRID
SOLUTION FOR INDEPENDENT ADVISORS.
BEING INDEPENDENT MEANS RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS IN THE WAY
THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
SAY GOODBYE TO PROPRIETARY PRODUCTS AND QUOTAS.
Private Advisor Group offers independent advisors unparalleled business structure flexibility. Want to run your own portfolios?
Go ahead. Want to outsource money management? Right on. Want to conduct both brokerage and advisory business? Please
do so. Regardless of how you choose to set up your structure, the way you want to conduct your business or the technology
you choose, independence means options. You make the decisions.
When you partner with Private Advisor Group, you gain access to a wide selection of products and services to offer your
clients, and without strings attached. You are no longer tied to proprietary products, mismatched incentives or quotas.
Going independent with Private Advisor Group means having the freedom to choose how you want to invest for your clients
based on their needs—not ours.
“We don’t have proprietary products
to push on the public. We don’t have
quotas to meet or we’re out.
That gives us the flexibility and freedom to really
focus on where we need to be.”
Alan Levine, President
Diversified Financial Consultants, LLC

4. WHEN YOU JOIN PRIVATE ADVISOR GROUP, YOU JOIN A COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED ADVISORS.
AND WE MAKE THE TRANSITION PAINLESS.
At Private Advisor Group, we offer independent advisors scale wrapped in a strong sense of community. As a member of this community, you have
access to the best of both worlds: the strength and stability of the largest independent broker-dealer in the industry and the personal support of
the Private Advisor Group staff, who know your business intimately and are there to help you find the solutions you need.
Making the switch to independence does not have to be difficult. Private Advisor Group’s dedicated transitions team has successfully transitioned
hundreds of advisors and will be with you every single step of the way. You’ll benefit from our years of experience, collective knowledge and
established best practices. Simply put, we strive to provide the most efficient transitions services the industry has to offer.
COMPLIANCE CAN BE A SUBSTANTIAL BURDEN ON INDEPENDENT ADVISORY PRACTICES.
LET US DO THE HEAVY LIFTING.
With heightened regulations and increased scrutiny of the financial services industry, compliance supervision is a mandatory component of running your
own advisory practice today. Instead of spending your valuable time trying to self-supervise and paying the expensive fees associated with doing so, let
the experts at Private Advisor Group take care of it so you can focus on your business.
Our full-time FINRA Series 24 licensed staff members are experienced, efficient and friendly—making this the greatest outsourced resource for your firm.
Our advisors told us* that joining Private Advisor Group enabled them to dedicate an additional 10–20 hours a week on average to either servicing their
clients or prospecting for new ones.
“Private Advisor Group underpromised
and overdelivered in terms of the
transition support that they gave us.
We opened up over 800 investment
accounts—representing about 225
households—in less than 60 days.”
“Private Advisor Group has really been paramount in resolving
issues that would otherwise have been difficult or unresolvable.
They advocate on our behalf everyday to ensure we are getting
the solutions we need from the broker-dealer.”

5. OUR BROKER-DEALER IS THE INDUSTRY’S LARGEST INDEPENDENT,
SERVICING OVER 13,000 FINANCIAL ADVISORS.
THAT’S WHAT WE CALL LEVERAGE.
LPL Financial was founded with a pioneering vision: to help entrepreneurial financial advisors establish successful
businesses through which they could offer truly independent financial guidance and advice. LPL Financial provides
Private Advisor Group advisors with an integrated platform of leading-edge technology, brokerage and investment
advisory services.
Private Advisor Group works closely with LPL Financial to advocate on behalf of our network of advisors.
By leveraging a top-rated broker-dealer, we can focus on our value proposition of providing exceptional service,
impeccable compliance oversight and creative solutions for our advisors. And because we are LPL Financial’s
largest Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction (OSJ)*, our advisors benefit from the access, influence and advocacy
we have within LPL Financial.
“We knew that the oversight was important,
and Private Advisor Group had a serious
team set up that we could leverage.
Outsourcing the compliance has allowed me
as the managing partner to focus on growing
my advisors’ practices, looking to bring on great
new advisors, and adding staff that could really
help them grow their business.”
Joseph B. Elliot, III, Managing Partner
The Philadelphia Group

6. GROWING AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY PRACTICE IS HARD WORK
AND TAKES YEARS OF DEDICATION.
BUT THE PAYOFF IS GREAT.
Becoming an independent advisor allows you to maximize the equity in your efforts and benefit from a transaction
or a transfer of ownership to the next generation when you are ready to retire. You get to keep a higher percent
of the revenue you generate on your business, and you have complete authority to control your finances, whether
that means saving more or investing back into the growth of your firm.
Private Advisor Group is here to help you start building your legacy, and we are always just a phone call away.
We don’t have a service line, so you have the comfort of knowing you can reach even the highest level of management
directly, and they will know your name and your business needs. We are proud to have cultivated a team of talented
professionals who are passionate about what they do and driven to help you achieve your goals.
Are you looking for a place where your independent advisory business can thrive? Staff who know you by name?
Proven support and exceptional service?
YOU BELONG WITH PRIVATE ADVISOR GROUP. CALL US TODAY TO GET STARTED.
“My advice for anyone
thinking of going
independent is to
absolutely do it!
I don’t think I could ever go back to working
for anyone else again. … At the end of the day,
there’s an asset there that’s mine—my book of
business—that I can pass on to my kids or sell
when I retire.”
