With headquarters located in Carlsbad, California, Financial Advisers of America (FAA) is a broker/dealer and Registered Investment Advisor dedicated to serving the needs of independent financial professionals across the United States. FAA supplies the support and resources necessary for your adviser to deliver the highest quality care and service to you, the investor.
As your adviser's broker/dealer, one of our most crucial functions is to act in a supervisory capacity and to protect your interests, and to ensure that all of our offices and advisers are compliant with industry regulations. By partnering with FAA, your adviser has access to a broad range of investment products and services, and part of our role as an effective broker/dealer is to perform rigorous due diligence on each of the product companies with which we have selling agreements. Through FAA, you are able to hold investments directly with a product company; or, alternatively, in a full service brokerage account maintained by our custodian, National Financial Services (NFS). FAA is also a Registered Investment Advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). For advisers licensed to perform advisory business, we provide portfolio management solutions to our Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs) across the country. In short, FAA offers an extraordinary variety of products and services to help your adviser best serve you.
FAA's role also includes providing its financial adviser partners with the technology necessary for them to operate their businesses efficiently and successfully. In addition, FAA performs essential back office functions including processing new accounts and facilitating all account transactions; such as transfers, money requests and trading.
FAA prides itself in maintaining a high level of individualized customer service for our advisers and their clients. In doing so, we recognize that just as no two advisers are exactly alike; no two investors are the same either. Therefore, we constantly strive to provide the resources and support necessary for your adviser to help you fulfill your unique investment needs and objectives.
At FAA, we have no proprietary products, nor do we push product sponsors on our advisers. We believe this philosophy allows your adviser to be objective in delivering guidance, and helps foster long, mutually beneficial adviser-client relationships.
Financial Advisers of America is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
