Transition Support

Transitioning to a new broker dealer can be daunting. Led by our Operations Manager, Greg Hicks, you can be confident you will have the full support you need to transition successfully and with as little disruption to your practice as possible.

Investment Policy Committee

The group meets every Monday morning in person and by Webinar to share and discuss many topics in the investment world, including specific investment solutions and different market, economic and geopolitical scenarios. They act as a “think tank” by collaborating and peer-sharing fresh ideas and investment concepts.

The IPC creates a listing of mutual funds based on asset category, as well as asset category weightings, and makes them available to our reps for financial professional use only.

The IPC is headed by David S. Duncan, CFP and CEO, Duncan Financial Group, and Thomas J. Walsh, CFA and President, Walsh Asset Management, LLC. The committee traces its roots back almost 15 years.
