Posted by Jerry McNulty on 8/23/23 2:39 PM

At Vanderbilt, we believe that our Advisors can only go as far as their tools let them. Throughout the month we have rolled out a variety of tools and programs that we believe will benefit our Advisors and in turn their clients. Below you will be able to see, in detail, the programs we have enacted throughout August and what each program brings to our Advisor community.

ADVISOR CONCIERGE DEDICATED LINE TO OPERATIONS - AUGUST 1ST
  • This line is answered by Operations Specialists with the intent of answering questions posed. Any question that requires additional expertise will be transferred to the Subject Matter Expert (SME).

  • This service is available from 9 am-5 pm EST, Monday-Friday (excluding days in which the office is closed).

  • Texting capabilities are available for general communications to and from operations.
  • Calling this number will automatically forward you to one of our Operations Specialists through the Advisor Concierge line.

We believe the additions of these tools and services will result in a better overall experience for our Advisors and in turn their clients. This is just the beginning as we are constantly looking to make changes and enhancements to the systems we have in place. Through the remainder of 2023 and beyond we hope to bring additional improvements to help in our Advisor's success.

Remembering Our Fallen Heroes This Memorial Day

Posted by Jerry McNulty on 5/25/23 11:02 AM

The United States recognizes Federal Holidays as dates designated by the U.S. government as holidays, where non-essential government offices and most businesses are closed in commemoration and recognition of important dates. Of the 11 dates recognized as Federal Holidays, Memorial Day is one that many look forward to, with many considering it the unofficial start of summer. While we all love Memorial Day for the barbecues, spending time with friends and family and the three-day weekend, it is also important to remember the origin of the holiday and who it honors.
