SAN DIEGO, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LPL Financial LLC<\/a> today announced LPL Latitude, the company\u2019s unified technology experience that connects the firm\u2019s capabilities across data, cybersecurity, infrastructure resiliency, artificial intelligence, advisor workflows and end-investor applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cLPL Latitude is more than a technology system \u2014 it\u2019s a strategic investment in the future of advice,\u201d said Rich Steinmeier, CEO of LPL Financial. \u201cBy creating a unified foundation across our business, we are accelerating innovation, unlocking the power of AI and data, and delivering more seamless, intelligent experiences for advisors and their clients. As the industry evolves, this integrated technology helps ensure our advisors remain at the forefront of delivering exceptional advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the last three years, LPL has invested nearly $2 billion in building the core pillars of Latitude, including a significant annual increase in cyber protections, reinforcing its commitment to protecting advisors, clients and data at every level. This year, LPL expects to introduce more than 35 major<\/strong> technology enhancements inside Latitude, representing the largest set of advanced features in the company\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\u201cLPL Latitude represents a step-change in how LPL delivers technology to advisors \u2014 at a time when expectations around security, personalization and digital experiences continue to rise,\u201d added Greg Gates, LPL\u2019s chief technology and information officer. \u201cThe LPL Latitude experience is agile and designed to scale alongside advisor needs. We\u2019re continuing to champion advisors\u2019 choice through our ClientWorks connected ecosystem, which leverages third-party applications, all while integrating agentic AI and strengthening protections. As the name implies, Latitude will provide both flexibility and guided direction to help advisors run efficient, secure and successful businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n LPL Latitude is anchored in five core strengths:<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\n Connected Data Architecture<\/strong>\u00a0
LPL\u2019s position as a self-clearing, broker-dealer and custodian gives the firm a dynamic advantage in creating one of the most vertically integrated data ecosystems in wealth management \u2014 turning information into actionable insight that can improve outcomes. For example, LPL\u2019s comprehensive data-driven framework is the foundation of its Advisor Growth System, which helps advisors and institutions benchmark their performance, identify growth opportunities and execute strategic improvements with LPL’s support. The Advisor Growth System is available at no cost to LPL advisors and institutions.<\/p>\n

\n Secure, Resilient Infrastructure<\/strong>

Enterprise-grade security is embedded throughout LPL Latitude, supported by increased cybersecurity investments to meet evolving risk and regulatory expectations. Key enhancements include the LPL Business Browser, which strengthens security controls while enabling future AI-powered capabilities; phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication; and data-minimization initiatives that help reduce risk and protect sensitive information. Since the firm started deploying the LPL Business Browser earlier this year, it has blocked thousands of cyberattacks on advisors\u2019 systems to date.<\/p>\n
