RIA affiliation through Strategic Blueprint gives advisors the infrastructure of an SEC registered investment adviser (RIA) — custodial relationships, fee-based investment solutions, sophisticated and flexible core technology, and compliance oversight. Broker dealer affiliation through The Strategic Financial Alliance is built for advisors who run commission-based businesses and want the backing of a registered broker-dealer without the constraints of a captive environment.

Hybrid advisors can operate across both advisory and commissionable services. By offering both RIA and BD solutions, advisors can match the right solutions and compensation structure for each investor that meets their unique needs.

SFA Partners provides several types of affiliation for financial advisors

How do I know which affiliation model is right for me?

We consult with you on where you'd like to take your practice. SFA Partners offers different affiliation models.

If you're fee-based, RIA affiliation through Strategic Blueprint gives you full infrastructure without building it yourself. If you're commission-based, broker-dealer affiliation with SFA | The Strategic Financial Alliance may fit. If you run both, hybrid keeps everything intact through a transition. If your business offers insurance products, there's a direct path for that too.

Can I change affiliation models later if my practice changes?

Yes. Advisors' practices evolve, and SFA Partners is built to support that evolution.

What stays the same no matter which model I choose?

Your brand, your client relationships, and your investment philosophy, and the experience support and partnership that you receive.
