Going Independent Does Not Mean Going At It Alone
Becoming an independent RIA is a daunting task that requires operational excellence, investment expertise, marketing,
and client servicing, all while trying to continue to grow your business. But being independent provides the flexibility to
provide clients with the highest level of service in the way you see fit. At SFG, we put the client first, a result of our
commitment to helping others with unwavering service and the pursuit of continuous improvement.
Benefits of Joining an RIA
We offer you the opportunity of freedom and independence while taking advantage of cost efficiencies of a larger operation.
You can increase your personal profitability and lower your business-related risks. When you become part of the SFG team,
you become part of a great group of professionals. This allows you to leverage experience and talent to grow your business.

Partnering with us allows you to expand the services you provide while improving the client experience. We assist you with the complexities of running your business so you can spend more time with current and prospective clients.
- Legacy TransitionYou have been the owner of a successful practice for many years.

You are taking your own advice that you provide your clients, “enjoy retirement before it’s too late.”
