Broker/dealers buy and sell investment products on behalf of investors who are clients of financial advisors affiliated with the firm. Because we are an independent broker/dealer, financial advisors affiliated with us work for themselves out of their own offices across the country and are free to help clients choose the best investment products to meet their financial goals. Though we provide advisors with products, they can choose which they believe are best for their clients. We function as the unseen back office that processes client transactions and supports advisors as they provide financial assistance to investors.
