The rapidly growing trend away from "wirehouse" investment firms toward independent RIA's is due to several factors:

• Independent Advisors are truly able to serve clients in a wholistic, unbiased way, without pressure to sell proprietary structured products that may not be in the clients' best interests.
  
• Successful advisors prefer to operate in an environment that encourages their independence, flexibility and drive to grow.

Our platform provides competitive advantages and operational flexibility that help our advisors build relationships with high net worth investors and the financial professionals who advise them.
