Bank platform managing $2.6 billion moves to LPL
The assets of the People’s United Bank's retail brokerage and advisory business are joining those of its new parent, M&T Bank, at LPL.
As expected, the retail brokerage and advisory business of People’s United Bank, which was acquired by M&T Bank earlier this year, has joined LPL Financial’s bank platform. M&T’s bank brokerage unit began using LPL’s platform in June 2021.
The folding in of the People’s United business, which was handled by that bank’s broker-dealer subsidiary, included roughly $2.4 billion of brokerage assets and $200 million in advisory assets. The bank’s remaining $1.8 billion of assets are expected to onboard over the next several months, LPL said in a release.
