Investment Advisor
(Below Definition From U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION) Read More Here.
An investment adviser is a person or firm that is engaged in the business of providing investment advice to others or issuing reports or analyses regarding securities, for compensation. Investment advisers may include money managers, investment consultants, financial planners, general partners of hedge funds, and others who are compensated for providing advice about securities
Individuals or firms that receive compensation for giving advice on investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange traded funds are deemed to be investment advisers. It is also common for investment advisers to manage portfolios of securities. RIAs generally are paid in any of the following ways: a percentage of the value of the assets they manage for clients, an hourly fee, fixed fee, a commission on the securities they sell (if the adviser is also a broker-dealer).
At FAi we found that the business model that is afforded to the investment professional through the RIA platform allows for a closer client relationship with interests aligning due investment architecture and offerings as well as advisor compensation.
At FAi as an RIA you will have a universe of investments to offer to allow you to build portfolios that align with your clients interest and risk tolerance.

FAi and How We Can Help
The transition to independence is one of the most important business decisions that any advisor can make. It is a career changing and career defining decision that has the ability to propel you to new levels.
We do not take the decision lightly and we know what it takes to make a successful transition. From transition assistance to client account transfer and even financial modeling for your firms cash flow for the first 12 months. You need to know how to successfully plan and our Advisors For Advisors ™ Team is here to assist you with just that.
We DO NOT think that you should be getting transition assistance from a call center. We believe that the better approach is to offer initial and ongoing assistance and advice from advisors whom have made the successful transition. Contact Us to Learn More.
Independence can be scary. Let our Advisers for Advisers team help coach you through the process.
A driving force for my decision to go independent was overly controlling firms telling me what was right for my client… that they did not know. Going independent with FAi afforded me the flexibility to provide investment services to my clients the way they need it! I was allowed autonomy to design my practice, but also given help to figure out how to maintain compliance. In hind-sight, there is no other way I would have gone !!
