Prospera Financial Services is proud to announce the acquisition of TCA Financial Group, LLC. Prospera, a privately held company, is a Texas based financial firm founded in 1982 as a full-service broker-dealer and support organization for successful independent Financial Professionals.

Dallas, TX (PR Web) Thursday, July 18, 2013– Prospera Financial Services is proud to announce the completion of the acquisition of TCA Financial Group, LLC (TCA) located in Charlotte, NC. TCA is a full service broker-dealer that champions the relationship between advisors and clients.

The firm was founded in 2004 and since then, the firm has attracted numerous financial advisors and professionals who believe that serving clients first should be the priority.   Prospera and TCA entered into this transaction for numerous reasons, namely: the quality and size of advisors at TCA, similar culture, the core types of business that the advisors concentrate in and an alignment of core values.

Jason Craig, Managing Partner at TCA, says: “our conversion to Prospera gives us the ability to run our businesses and retain our autonomy, while relieving ourselves of the challenges and costs of running a broker-dealer.”

The acquisition also affords Prospera with the opportunity to continue to increase their footprint in the mid-Atlantic region.
