CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, May 21, 2026 – CFRA, the world’s leading provider of independent investment research, is expanding its 15-year strategic relationship with LPL Financial to deliver technical market analysis and public policy research alongside fundamental equity coverage to more than 32,000 financial advisors.
The expansion comes as advisors increasingly seek integrated research solutions to navigate volatile markets and anticipate policy shifts. LPL advisors will now access CFRA's complete research suite, which includes Lowry Research’s 80-year-old technical analysis methodology and Washington Analysis’s policy insights – adding NYSE/NASDAQ market signals and regulatory intelligence to the existing coverage of 1,650+ stocks, 3,600+ ETFs, and 16,000+ mutual funds found on the Marketscope Advisor platform.
“In today's complex market environment, our advisors need more than fundamental analysis—they need technical signals to time market moves and policy insights to anticipate regulatory changes that impact client portfolios,” said Adam Turnquist, Chief Technical Strategist at LPL Financial. “This expansion reflects LPL's commitment to equipping advisors with the integrated research tools required to deliver superior outcomes for clients.”
CFRA's MarketScope Advisor platform has been among the most popular research offering at LPL since 2010, trusted by advisors for its proprietary STARs ranking system and unbiased analysis. The addition of technical and policy research creates a comprehensive intelligence solution spanning fundamental, technical, and regulatory dimensions.
