Welcome to our new website! Thanks for checking it out. One feature, that I hope you will like and look forward to, is my Blog.
Probably monthly, I will offer up my thoughts on various topics ranging from economics, current stock market events, and financial planning strategies.
By now you know that we have moved to a new Broker/Dealer, Cambridge Investment Research of Fairfield, IA. To learn more about them check out www.cir2.com. You may be wondering exactly what a Broker/Dealer is. Unlike the insurance business where a person can be an Independent Agent and affiliate with many firms, those with securities licenses must work through a Broker/Dealer. The BD provides clearing services, regulatory and compliance supervision, and customer service to both clients and representatives. We chose Cambridge because their values and procedures perfectly align with ours. We believe that we can better serve your needs and interests at Cambridge.
By now you have received some paperwork forms. Those forms are needed to have your accounts follow us to Cambridge. Hopefully, we are already done with yours. If not, we will be in contact soon. We have over 400 client families and more than 1,000 accounts to complete.
As mentioned before, this change does not affect your investments. Accounts held at First Clearing will need to be transferred. Those held directly by a fund company such as American Funds or Fidelity just need to be reassigned back to us.
Soon I will be celebrating my 43rd anniversary in this business. The decision to join Cambridge is the smartest thing I have done since becoming independent back in 1991. Cassidy Moulton and I will be setup better than ever before with Cambridge to bring you the level of service you deserve.
