Firm's representatives rank Prospera Financial Services #1 in Investment Advisor magazine's annual poll; Prospera honored six out of the last ten years
DALLAS, Sept. 4, 2018 — Prospera Financial Services, Inc. (Prospera) was named as Investment Advisor magazine’s 2018 Broker-Dealer of the Year in Division I, representing firms with up to 199 producing advisors. The magazine conducts an annual poll asking its financial advisor readers to anonymously rank their firms on criteria like service, payout, and technology. This is the sixth time in ten years that Prospera has attained the prestigious industry honor, and was previously honored in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2015.
David Stringer, President of Prospera, states, “This award is especially meaningful to me and the entire Prospera team because it came from our reps through their votes. We’ve believed since day one that our highest purpose as a firm is to deliver our unique brand of true independence within the framework of gold standard service. This win certainly feels good and reinforces that we are on the right track as we continually raise our standards and aspire to be the gold standard for boutique independent firms.
The annual Broker-Dealer of the Year award is based on voting in 15 different categories. The broker-dealer receiving the highest average rating from its voting representatives wins Broker-Dealer of the Year in its division.
“Our motto says it all,” Stringer adds. “We are financial professionals serving financial professionals. We’re a boutique independent firm where advisors define their own brand of success. It’s what we at Prospera call Success your way; and it drives everything that we do.”
