California-headquartered wealth management firm LPL Financial Holdings on Wednesday announced the opening of its global capability centre (GCC) in Hyderabad.
The city was selected for its deep talent pool in financial services, strong infrastructure and business continuity advantages. Over the next 3-5 years, LPL Financial expects to create hundreds of roles at the new facility to support technology, operations, product development, data and analytics and risk management. “The GCC will leverage the impressive talent in Hyderabad, enabling us to build integrated teams focused on creating next-gen technology that sets a new standard in financial services,” chief technology and information officer Greg Gates said.
