Your Compliance Partner

It takes more than a gatekeeper to truly protect you and your business – it takes a partner. That’s why our Compliance team aims to work with you to define what you can do, instead of simply telling you what you can’t. They work to ensure that all applicable FINRA, SEC, state regulations, and internal policies are followed to the letter, but also to ensure that your business is given every opportunity to succeed.

In addition to conducting on-site audits of offices, monitoring trading activities, assisting with customer complaints, and reviewing marketing materials, Compliance works to keep you educated and informed. At all of our regional and national conferences, you’ll have the opportunity to attend Compliance-approved continuing education courses that meet FINRA’s “Firm Element” requirement. And you’ll never miss out on the latest regulatory news and updates on firm procedures thanks to the Compliance team’s bimonthly newsletter and pertinent memos.
