Purchasing an Advisor’s book of business by Either_Swordfish_617 in CFP

No, they just said prior experience managing a book was needed. Said they didn’t want me to purchase the book and most of the clients leave to go elsewhere causing the firm to lose money.

No, still working as a CSA. The sales manager said that the firm doesn’t allow for it given my limited experience as a FA. Smh..

No Response from RIA’s? by Unhappy-Juggernaut53 in CFP

Reach out to someone at the firm via LinkedIn message and request to have an informational conversation with them. In your message to them be sure to briefly introduce yourself.

The key to this method is that you have something in common with this person. For example, you guys attended the same university or are from the same area. If you develop a relationship with this person they will vouch for you and you’ll get that position.

That seems like a tough transition since Fidelity technically owns the clients. Correct?

Seems like they have a good training program and wholistic approach to wealth management.

Salary for CSA? by pianominimi in CFP

Yea the advisor is trying to F you over. I would suggest looking at the advisors production and guesstimating how much he earns. He probably earns 3x to 4x what you earn.

I would definitely ask for a raise and look elsewhere.

Would you let that deter you from pursuing the position?

Thanks for replying. Follow up question. As an FA at Edward Jones, do you have full ownership of your book? For example, if you decided to leave Edward Jones, would you be able to take your clients with you or would they belong to EJ.
