Through the career of a financial professional many things change: the company culture is not the same, they have become too large to know your business, the pay is constantly fluctuating, or the prestige is no longer there. Whatever it may be, you are now looking to transition. These are big decisions, though, and are not to be taken lightly; therefore, you want a place that provides the support and supervision you need but want the freedom to build your own business.
Perhaps you have decided it is time to concentrate more of your efforts on a model that aligns you with your clients or want to conduct both a commission and fee business with a clear separation. The Investment Advisor Alliance can help you become a fee only advisor; it is our only line of business. We are a registered investment advisor working with independent advisors nation-wide to build their fee practice and build lasting, mutually advantageous client relationships.
To facilitate your commission business, IAA, with TradePMR and Sterne, Agee, & Leach's hybrid platform, enables advisors to become dually registered individuals. The hybrid platform permits commission business to be transacted through Sterne Agee Financial Services while fee business is effected through The Investment Advisor Alliance. As a hybrid advisor you benefit from two companies rendering supervised independence, each specializing in their part.
The thought of running completely separate books with separate companies may, at first glance, seem a burden. However, TradePMR's e-Custody workstation brings your clients' account information into a unified platform for both disciplines, making your practice run easily and efficiently.
