Is Going Independent Right For Me?

The most essential element of a successful independent representative is one that you already possess: relationships with clients who trust and value the insight you provide and the services you offer. What Advisor WebStation adds to this is a full support system, both technological and organizational, that lets you make it happen.

For an RIA with a strong handle of the business and the confidence to pursue continued success, the next step is making the move to independence. Supported by BWS technology and professional services, you know you have the dedicated support you need to make your independent business a success.

Independence: Balancing Guidance with Flexibility

The Advisor WebStation powered by WallStreet*E Institutional, can offer you a specific combination of investment advisory services and hybrid solutions that provide not only guidance, but the flexibility to pursue your business on your own terms:

• You are your own boss. Outside of legal compliance, the decisions about the way your business is run and operated are up to your leadership.
• BWS is designed to let you pursue and recruit the professionals that you deem most qualified to work under you and help your business grow.
• The clients you work with are all yours; you can take on any retail client that you like, and the choices made with regard to any client are up to you.
• You retain the independent right to sell your business and the equity you have built.
