LPL Financial won the 2025 Model Wealth Manager Award for Emerging Technologies for its innovative use of generative AI to enhance advisor-client engagement.
The wealth management industry is experiencing a transformative shift driven by emerging technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence (AI). LPL Financial, one of the leading independent broker-dealers and registered investment advisors (RIAs) in the United States, is at the forefront of this evolution, leveraging cutting-edge tools to enhance operational efficiency and client engagement. A key innovation is the Next Best Action Communication Drafter, a generative AI tool that automates and personalizes advisor-client communications using insights from LPL’s Next Best Action system. This tool is developed in partnership with AWS Bedrock, which enables secure and scalable access to industry-leading large language models (LLMs) from providers such as Anthropic, Meta, Amazon, and Cohere.
LPL’s collaboration with AWS Bedrock ensures robust infrastructure support, streamlined model integration, and enterprise-grade data security—critical elements in maintaining compliance and client trust. The initiative involved extensive testing and close coordination with compliance teams to ensure seamless and responsible implementation. Looking ahead, LPL is expanding its use of generative AI into areas such as knowledge assistants, summarization tools, and advanced client analytics to further personalize and optimize the wealth management experience.
