One Platform. Multiple Custodians.
GVA’s platform includes access to three top-tier custodians: Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and LPL Financial. Due to our scale and relationships, we have partnered with each custodian to offer our advisors additional support and resources to help them grow their business. Below is helpful information on each custodian regarding account opening (required forms) and how we bill.
To get started with each platform, please email operations@greatvalleyadvisors.com with the custodian name in the subject line.
