"Transforming My Advisory Business with First Advisors"

$20M AUM

Experience: 23 Years

SUMMARY

In this video, I share my journey as an investment advisor and portfolio manager with nearly 23 years of experience, currently managing just under $20 million in assets. I focus on pre-retirees and early retirees aged 50 to 75, and I envision tripling my assets under management in the next five years while expanding my team. Working with First Advisors has significantly enhanced my business, providing me with autonomy and a supportive compliance framework that fosters growth. I highly recommend First Advisors to any advisor looking to elevate their practice with dependable resources and systems.

"Transitioning from Insurance to Securities with Ease"

$10M AUM

Experience: 51 Year Business

SUMMARY

I'm a second generation advisor with 51 years of family business experience. I transitioned from an insurance-based business to the securities arena with the help of FAN Advisors, who made the process simple and straightforward. My goal over the next five to ten years is to double our current assets under management. I highly recommend FAN Advisors for their ease of communication and support, which has been invaluable during this transition.
