What constitutes independence for a financial advisor?
We think true independence means freedom to control and run your business the way you want. Independence means ownership of your client relationships and the opportunity to preserve those relationships by putting your clients’ interests first.
As one of the nation’s most advisor-centric brokerages, E.K. Riley respects and supports your independence, giving you the freedom to choose from a comprehensive array of planning and investment resources. We provide a truly independent environment for our advisors so you can provide independent, unbiased advice for your clients.
Independence is a single-minded pursuit at E.K. Riley. We have no corporate agendas or mandates from outside investors. Our advisors are truly our partners, as evidenced by 100% ownership by our employees and advisors.
In addition to freedom and independence, we back up our advisors with continuous investment in technology, product innovation and a service orientation that is the heart of our business culture. All of this contributes to our organizational commitment to help you grow your business and achieve greater success. We have always grown our business by helping our advisors grow theirs.
