Answers to most frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions to ensure you can quickly and reliably access the answers to common questions you might have.

What has changed?

We have launched our new, independent wealth management firm, Continuity Private Wealth, in partnership with LPL Financial. LPL is the nation’s largest independent broker/dealer* supporting over 22,000 independent advisors. As our client, you have your own considerations and priorities, so we will continue tailoring plans to your specific needs—that has not changed.

What motivated you to make the change?

Our goal is to clearly present options that work for you and your family, and we wanted our practice to reflect the ongoing opportunities within the industry. Our partnership with LPL gives us the independence and flexibility to bring new ideas to the table and do what’s best for you. As our broker/dealer, LPL provides cutting-edge technology, resources, and investment choices that allow us to provide an even greater level of service that’s tailored just for you.

Why didn’t you tell us about this change earlier?

It was necessary to delay the announcement of our partnership with LPL Financial until our advisors were formally registered with them, to avoid potential conflicts of interest. If you have any questions prior to us contacting you, please call us at 267-899-8120.

Why did you choose LPL Financial as your broker/dealer?

We decided to launch our new independent firm by affiliating with LPL Financial – a Fortune 500 company with over $1 trillion in brokerage and advisory client assets, serviced or custodied.**  This arrangement will allow us to utilize the strength and leverage of a major firm, while allowing us to build our own culture, team, and resources to best partner with you.

LPL’s comprehensive support, technology, and research, along with their model of transparency and dedication to independence and choice, allows us to provide you with a wide range of diligently evaluated, non-proprietary products. In fact, you will now have access to many investment options that previously were not available to you by virtue of LPL’s scale.  We are confident that we are being fully supported by a leader in the retail financial market who can match our high standards.

What should I expect during this transition?

You can expect a smooth and transparent process as we make this transition together. None of your current investments will need to be sold in the process of a transfer. We will contact you directly to discuss your account transfer, and how this change will positively impact your experience with us.

Where will my assets be held, and how safe will they be?

As a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member firm subject to the federal securities laws and the rules of industry self-regulatory organizations, LPL Financial prioritizes its obligations to protect client assets in its custody with the utmost care and scrupulous adherence to financial protection rules, including those governing the segregation of client assets.

The LPL Financial SIPC Membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per customer, of which $250,000 may be claims for cash. An explanatory brochure is available at www.sipc.org. Additionally, through London Insurers, LPL Financial accounts have additional securities protection to cover the net equity of customer accounts up to an overall aggregate firm limit of $1,000,000,000 subject to conditions and limitations. The account protection applies when an SIPC member firm fails financially and is unable to meet 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.

Can I keep my accounts where they are?

Yes, however we will not be able to manage the accounts. If you choose to keep your accounts where they are, you will be reassigned to a different advisor.

How is my personal information protected?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, LPL Financial uses security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. LPL’s online environment uses security technologies, including layered security and access controls over personal information. For further information, please visit LPL’s Privacy/Security page at: www.lpl.com/disclosures/privacy-security.html

Has your investment process changed?

No. In fact, because we are now an independent firm, we are no longer limited in our access to research, planning, and portfolio construction capabilities. This freedom of choice empowers us to do more for you.

What is your new website and how do I log into my account?

You can visit our new website at: www.continuityprivatewealth.com. As soon as your account has been moved to LPL Financial, we will contact you to let you know how to enroll in Account View, which is our new client portal.

How did you choose your name?

Anything worth having takes time to build, so Continuity represents our team, which has been together for more than 20 years, and our conservative investment ideology. We built our reputation over time by showing up consistently for our clients, and we believe in committing to a financial plan, even through market ups and downs. The tree is our logo because it symbolizes strength, patience, longevity, family, and prosperity: everything our team stands for.
