CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE
Ken Johnston

My name is Ken Johnston and I am honored to be the Chairman of Financial Advisers of America, (FAA). Aside from my family, the aspect of my life about which I am most proud is my reputation for being fiercely loyal to FAA's advisers and home office staff. All of FAA's affiliates know that I am available day and night because I have long understood that advisers' needs for support and guidance are not necessarily limited to 8-5 Pacific Standard Time.
Prior to founding FAA, I succeeded in taking a struggling broker-dealer without any retail business, only a handful of client accounts, and just one branch office from a negative monthly cash flow to profitability and annual revenues of over $25 million. During my tenure as President/CEO, the company grew to over 75 branch offices and greater than $4 billion in assets under management. But something was missing… My partners and I decided it was time to create a better broker-dealer – one that gives lasting, real ownership to all advisers, rather than to a favored few. To do this, each of us had to have the heart and conviction to share a part of what we were creating with people we've known and with those we haven't yet met. We don't use smoke and mirrors and we don't inflate our numbers. Everything is up front and on the table. FAA is built on honesty, integrity, fairness and a commitment to excellence. If you share these values, we would love the opportunity to talk. |
