LPL got blindsided, but the firm was naive to assume other companies would not pursue NPH advisors. The problem was not only that naivete, but the arrogance that was present in assuming that at least 70% of the advisors would somehow automatically decide that LPL was the best firm for them. Now there is a real possibility that the more lucrative packages LPL is offering to disrupt (lure) the targeted advisors may end up alienating a large segment of their existing FAs.
