Why Choose Henschen & Associates?

Because we find solutions.

Successful advisors rarely have the time and resources to search out just the right broker-dealer relationship. We do.

Here are a few examples of issues facing reps that we’ve helped them solve:

• My Advisory practice has grown to the point where it would make sense to lower our administrative expenses, so I need a firm that offers value on their Advisory wrap platforms.
• Our current firm is very restrictive on Alternative Investments. We need a firm that is not only broad based on these types of investments, but also open to adding additional product.
• Most of our clients are institutional, so we need a firm that has quality block trading on stocks, not charging cents per share on stock ticket charges and has the ability to do DVP accounts.
• Our business is at a point where we need help from a broker/dealer in running our office more efficiently, help with our business/marketing plans and a back office that has technology that will save us more time.
• My partner and I are interested in doing our Advisory through TD Ameritrade but our broker/dealer is not open to outside firms and won’t let us have our own RIA.
• I’m by myself feeling like an island. It would be nice to be part of a group that has some sales synergy and could help me out with my marketing.
• I’ve always wanted to go independent, but my wife has a poor medical history so the cost of self insuring would be huge.
• It feels like I’ll never find a broker/dealer that will take me because I have three marks on my compliance history.
• Our group has grown to several million dollars of gross dealer concession, yet having that amount of production doesn’t seem to bring any additional leverage from our broker/dealer in the form of higher payout or marketing and recruiting support.
• My business has grown to the point that I’m interested in exploring “Roll Up” opportunities where I can get three to five times cash flow for my practice and either phase out in a few years or continue my practice long term, continuing to grow with the help of the firm I partner with.
• I’m doing mostly advisory now, but still want to do some commissionable products. I need a broker/dealer that will take little if any hair cut off my advisory portion and allow me to just do my commission portion through them.
