Independent BD & RIA Services (Member FINRA / SIPC & Registered Investment
Advisor)
In the 1990’s, as traditional financial services philosophies and segmentation blurred
dramatically, it became evident that it was nearly impossible to function successfully
without a broker dealer and securities licensed support staff. However, we also
realized that the historical broker dealer business model was archaic and quickly
becoming obsolete. For all intents and purposes, traditional broker dealers have
eroded to nothing more than conduits specifically designed to process business,
track commissions and oversee compliance… While these are important functions, BD’s
had become vanilla, as all the value-added had disappeared and/or become commoditized.
Understanding this reality allowed us to design a broker dealer that filled a valuable
niche for top-Advisors (including top-notch technology) while embracing the benefits
of co-existence with the other uniquely positioned USA FINANCIAL® entities.
100% Registered Rep Payout Platform
Based upon the description above, it makes perfect sense to turn the business model
on-its-ear and offer a 100% Registered Representative Payout Platform in addition
to our Traditional Payout Platform. For the approximate monthly cost of a part-time
employee, a Rep can collect a full 100% payout on the gross Broker Dealer concessions,
generally resulting in a substantial net revenue increase for the Rep. Essentially,
a Rep can reap-the-rewards of receiving the full Broker Dealer concessions, without
any of the headaches associated with operating a stand-alone operation, and still
enjoy all of the benefits of being affiliated with USA FINANCIAL SECURITIES™.
100% Investment Advisor Rep Payout Platform
Similar to the 100% Registered Rep Payout Platform described above… For an economical
monthly cost, Advisors charging fees for assets-under-management and/or charging
fees for their time & expertise, can collect a full 100% payout on the fees
charged, generally resulting in a substantial net revenue increase for the Advisor.
Essentially, an Advisor can reap-the-rewards of receiving the full Registered Investment
Advisor (RIA) fee as an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR), without any of
the headaches associated with operating a stand-alone operation, and still enjoy
all of the benefits of being affiliated with USA FINANCIAL SECURITIES™ and working
off of our ADV.
No Haircut on Fixed Annuities & Insurance
Based upon current regulation, fixed annuities and insurance are not considered
a securities product and therefore are not reviewed for suitability or subject to
any payout grid. Again, based upon current regulation, USA FINANCIAL SECURITIES™
does not consider such products to be securities transactions and you are free to
pursue your own distribution relationships.
No Haircut on Equity Index Annuities
Based upon the FINRA Notice to Members 05-50, we consider equity index annuities
to be a non-securities transaction that is monitored for suitability review by the
Broker Dealer. As such, USA FINANCIAL SECURITIES™ has entered into a service agreement
with USA FINANCIAL MARKETING™, in order to provide the most conducive business environment
possible for the Reps. All Reps are required to place their equity index annuity
business through USA FINANCIAL MARKETING™ as the distributor so that USA FINANCIAL
SECURITIES™ may readily access the business for suitability review. No more than
ten percent of a rep’s business may flow outside of this distribution relationship
(this business still must be submitted to the BD for review). In return, the rep
may maintain full commissions, as the transactions will not be subject to any payout
grid, even though USA FINANCIAL SECURITIES™ will be protecting everyone’s interests
by conducting proper suitability review of all equity index annuity cases.
