Guided Wealth Portfolios
GUIDED WEALTH PORTFOLIOS
Easy online investing with the guidance of a financial advisor. Invest for your future with a digital investment platform that combines the benefits of a personal financial advisor with sophisticated technology.
Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP) investment management is designed for clients who:
- Have less to invest but want a financial advisor
- Want a low-account minimum investing solution
- Are interested in a digital investing experience
- Want a lower-touch advisor service model

Advisor Relationships
While other digital investing solutions, or robo advisors, offer online investment management, many don’t include a direct personal relationship with a financial advisor, unless you’re willing to invest substantial amounts.

Personal Advisor
With GWP, you get a personal advisor dedicated to you and your goals, no matter how large or small your investment amount. All you need to get started is $5,000* to invest. Whatever your investment goals, we can help you.
*Accounts under $10,000 have a $20 annual fee.

Investment Managemenet
Guided Wealth Portfolios offers investment management designed to help you pursue your financial objectives. You’ll receive diversified allocations designed for you and your savings goals, and benefit from trading techniques.

- The Portfolio Designer
LPL Research, an experienced money manager, chooses the investments for the portfolio models.
- Your Advisor
Your advisor reviews your suggested portfolio allocation to make sure it’s right for you. As your goals or life change, your advisor is available to help you determine if your GWP portfolio will continue to be the right solution for you.
- The Technology
Sophisticated algorithms are built into the technology. They examine your portfolio every day to see if it can be optimized. These algorithms can trigger rebalancing or tax-loss harvesting to ensure your portfolio stays in line with your goals and to create opportunities to help you save on taxes.

ABOUT GWP
Accounts under $10,000 have a $20 annual fee. All accounts are subject to a program fee and advisory fee.
Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP) is a centrally managed, algorithm-based, investment program sponsored by LPL Financial LLC (LPL). GWP uses proprietary, automated, computer algorithms of FutureAdvisor to generate investment recommendations based upon model portfolios constructed by LPL.
FutureAdvisor and LPL are nonaffiliated entities. If you are receiving advisory services in GWP from a separately registered investment advisor firm other than LPL or FutureAdvisor, LPL and FutureAdvisor are not affiliates of such advisor.
Both LPL and FutureAdvisor are investment advisors registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and LPL is also a Member FINRA/SIPC.
All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.
With your free dynamic proposal, you will have access to sample recommendations at no charge to you. If you decide to open a GWP investment management account, you will be charged a quarterly account fee, as well as certain additional costs such as underlying investment fees and expenses and other miscellaneous fees. If you decide to implement sample recommendations in the proposal with another firm, you may be charged fees, commissions, or expenses by that firm, as well as underlying investment fees and expenses.
LPL Financial does not provide tax advice. Clients should consult with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing.
