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).

Through the remainder of 2023 and beyond we hope to bring additional improvements to help in our Advisor's success.
