The Private Trust Company Reaches $1 Billion in Personal Trust Assets
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) April 10, 2014 -- The Private Trust Company, N.A. (“PTC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of LPL Financial Holdings Inc., today announced a significant milestone for the company of surpassing $1 billion in personal trust assets, placing it among the financial services industry’s 30 largest banking institutions in the country, based on total fiduciary assets reported to the FFIEC in 2013.
PTC is a nationally chartered trust company that provides administrative trust services for individuals and families and specializes in delegating investment management to financial advisors both inside and outside of LPL Financial’s network of financial advisors. PTC helps financial advisors implement recommended trust strategies and fulfills the succession trust needs of their clients. And, LPL Financial Holdings Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary LPL Financial, is a leading independent provider of investment brokerage, advisory and custody services.
Bethany Bryant, President of PTC, cited LPL Financial’s commitment to expanding its capabilities to serve mass affluent, high-net-worth investors, their advisors and institutions as a key driver behind PTC’s success. “Our team at PTC has worked hard to develop a trust business that would be highly scalable,” said Ms. Bryant. “PTC’s significant growth in trust assets over the past 18 months is the result of that work and our complementary relationship with LPL Financial’s fast-growing high-net-worth business, our business partners and advisors.”
Andy Kalbaugh, LPL Financial Managing Director and Head of Institution Services, and Chairman of PTC’s Board of Directors, said, “PTC’s success underscores the tremendous opportunity that LPL Financial has in this market. PTC’s expertise in trust services have enabled LPL Financial to create a consultative platform of wealth management solutions for financial advisors that cater to the needs of high-net-worth investor clients. Moreover, we plan to continue to expand our offering to this audience by leveraging the proven capabilities of our technology. We congratulate our LPL advisors, Bethany Bryant and her team on surpassing the $1 billion milestone.”
