Read MoreHide Full Article
LPL Financial's (LPLA - Free Report) total brokerage and advisory assets were $1.46 trillion at the end of May 2024, increasing 3.6% from the prior month and 23.1% year over year. The rise in the company’s asset balance from April 2024 was mainly driven by a robust market performance.
Of LPLA’s total assets, brokerage assets were $655 billion and advisory assets amounted to $809.4 billion. Brokerage assets grew 2.7% from April 2024 and 16.9% year over year. Likewise, advisory assets rose 4.4% from the previous month and 28.5% from May 2023.
Total net new assets (NNAs) were $11.2 billion in the reported month. NNAs were $12 billion in April 2024 and included $5 billion of acquired NNAs from the acquisition of Crown Capital. Notably, in May 2023, NNAs were $8.1 billion.
The company reported $44.5 billion of total client cash balance, down 2.6% from March 2024 and 11.2% from May 2023. Of the total balance, $31.8 billion was insured cash and $9 billion was deposit cash, while the remaining was money-market and client cash balance.
LPL Financial’s recruiting efforts and solid advisor productivity will likely support advisory revenues. The company is expected to keep expanding through strategic acquisitions, given a robust balance sheet position. However, the challenging operating backdrop remains a near-term headwind.
So far this year, LPLA shares have gained 26.8%, outperforming the industry’s growth of 13.4%.
A couple of other brokerage firms that have released data for May 2024 are Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR - Free Report) and Charles Schwab (SCHW - Free Report) .

IBKR’s total client DARTs for May were 2,360,000, which increased 27% from May 2023 and 1% from the last month.
Schwab has reported its monthly activity report for May 2024. The company’s core net new assets of $31 billion surged substantially from $1 billion recorded in the previous month and 50% from the year-ago month.
