Raymond James vs LPL.

I’ve researched both and very similar.
LPL is trying to really grow and keep together all the firms they recently acquired. They’ve had to backtrack a little to entice some advisors to stay there. By sheer numbers LPL is larger.

I do like RayJay and especially their chief market guy Jeff Saut. Ticket charges I’ve heard at RJ are a pain though and more than LPL. Technology is decent at both.

Prospera Financial. Privately owned, boutique firm. Custody with Wells Fargo or Pershing. Caters to larger producers. Avg GDC ~ $500k

Cambridge is definitely a quality organization too. I like the way they preach culture and importance on family.

3200 advisors vs 16k at LPL and 7600 RJ

Smaller numbers means also less (or no) brand recognition, not that you need that when you’re Indy.

I think my main attraction to them is no bad brand recognition

And privately held versus pubilcy traded

Finet?

What kind of up front checks does ray jay offer on their independent side?

Lpl will give you a higher payout. RJ has better service and tech.

Rj pays anywhere from 20-40% upfront maybe even more for really large producers

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
