Some statistics I’ve seen show the Wirehouse Financial Advisor model as opposed to the Independent Broker-Dealer or RIA model are where most financial advisors still operate today although a trend may be developing.

  A question for the Wirehouse Advisors...what do you like about the wirehouse business model and what do you dislike about the Independent B/D or RIA Model?   No model is "perfect" in my opinion and I feel a lot of it depends on the needs of each Advisors circumstances.   Make it a GREAT day everyone!
