HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trilogy Financial (Trilogy), a privately held financial planning firm with over $2 billion in client assets, today announced its decision to affiliate with LPL Financial LLC ("LPL") following the August announcement that the assets owned by our independent  broker-dealer network, National Planning Holdings, Inc. ("NPH") have been purchased by LPL.  Serving more than 14,000 independent financial advisors, LPL Financial is the nation's largest independent broker-dealer.

Following the announcement of NPH's acquisition, Trilogy conducted comprehensive due-diligence to determine whether it would transition to LPL Financial or move to another broker-dealer. The Trilogy leadership team vetted nearly a dozen broker-dealer options, both large and small, before coming to a decision.
