Incredulity hovers over LPL's retro -- or is it inspired? -- choice of original 1983 employee Jim Putnam as chairman

The entire industry must pivot as it evolves from transactions to fee for service. Similar to what Putnam did at LPL as he envisioned what a financial planning firm looks like in an IB/D format. Discarding the old with the new is healthy, and Putnam has the experience in doing just that. It just requires a new mind set that takes LPL where it needs to go in an entirely different environment.
