Three Reasons Advisers Move Here

Values You Don't Keep in a Separate Drawer

Christian-founded, and it shapes how the firm operates. Biblically responsible portfolios with eVALUEator screening are available to you, so your practice can reflect your convictions if your clients ask for it.

A Support Ratio We Actually Publish

One home-office team member for every three advisers. We print the number because it is the thing you will feel every week: on a transfer question, a compliance question, a Friday afternoon.

Both Registrations, One Roof

Broker/dealer and registered investment adviser in the same house since 1990 and 1982. You are not stitching affiliations together to serve the clients you already have.

What That Has Actually Looked Like

$300M+ in New Assets Under Administration

Added across Q2–Q3 2024 as advisers transferred in from other firms. Published by CFD, December 2024.

What the First Conversation Actually Is

Nobody is going to pitch you a payout grid on a first call. Here is the whole sequence.

01

30 Minutes with Jamie

Jamie Barber, Adviser Advocate. She asks about your book and what is not working where you are. You ask her anything.

02

A Real Look at the Numbers

What a transition would involve for your specific mix of business, on your timeline, not a generic transition deck.

03

Come See It

A visit to the Creative Financial Centre® in Kokomo. Meet the home-office team you would be calling. No obligation either way.

Questions Advisers Ask Before They'll Book

Am I too small — or too big?

CFD fits best with advisers running roughly $250K to $750K in trailing-12 production, three to fifteen years in. The questions on the next page will tell you honestly, before you give us your email.

Do I have to run biblically responsible portfolios?

No. It is a capability available to you and your clients, not a requirement of affiliating here.

What happens to my clients during a transition?

Needs CFD input
This is the question every switcher asks and CFD publishes no answer to it. J.W. Cole publishes a five-step roadmap; Ausdal now names a transition team. Getting a real answer here is worth more than any other copy on this page.

Is my inquiry confidential?

Confirm wording with compliance
Advisers exploring a move while still registered elsewhere will not fill in a form without this line.

Find out in three minutes whether this is worth a call.

Twelve questions. You will see where you land before we see who you are.
