Congratulations to Marc Cohen on his promotion to managing director, Business Strategy and Innovation! Since joining us in 2018, Marc has been instrumental in reimagining how we support advisors on their journey to independence. From helping wirehouse advisors break away to developing innovative solutions for business owners, Marc's entrepreneurial spirit has shaped LPL's evolution. Now, as a member of our Management Committee, he'll lead our strategic growth while expanding how we serve and support advisors through innovative solutions. "Marc is an entrepreneur by nature whose innovative thinking has helped reimagine the strategic evolution of our firm," said CEO Rich Steinmeier.
As the year draws to a close, lights twinkle in windows across our communities – each one telling a different story, celebrating different traditions, but all sharing in the warmth of the season. From our community to yours, we wish you moments of joy, peace, and connection as you celebrate with those who matter most.
Last Tuesday was Giving Tuesday, and we turned one day into a full season of impact. For our employees working virtually or at one of our campuses, there are countless ways to make a difference: volunteer events, community initiatives, or our LPL Day of Giving, where every donation —even as little as $5 —helps create pathways to financial services careers in underserved communities. Through the LPL Foundation's partnerships with organizations like Girls Who Invest, The American College of Financial Services, Greenwood Project, and CFP Board, we're building a more inclusive future for our industry —one act of service at a time.

Our diversity isn't just about who we are—it's about what we can achieve together. Every unique perspective at our table makes us better listeners, stronger problem-solvers, and more innovative thinkers. It's how we build deeper connections with our clients and understand the dreams that drive them. To our team members who bring their authentic selves to work every day: you make us who we are. Your stories, your insights, and your experiences aren't just welcome here — they're essential to our success. Diversity Awareness Month
Every great journey begins with an opportunity. That's why today, we're proud to announce $1M+ in grants through the LPL Foundation to four groundbreaking organizations shaping a more inclusive future for finance: The American College of Financial Services, CFP Board, Girls Who Invest, and Greenwood Project. These partnerships will create scholarships, internships, and mentorship programs that open doors for underrepresented talent. Because when financial professionals reflect the communities they serve, everyone wins. Over the past four years, we've invested $2.5 million in organizations working to diversify the next generation of financial professionals. But the numbers only tell part of the story. The real impact happens one career at a time, as talented individuals from under-resourced communities step into roles where they can help families build generational wealth.
