Prestigious Industry Survey Ranks Securities
America, Triad Advisors and KMS Financial Services Among Top Five
Firms with Highest Representation of Female Advisors
Opens Registration for Ladenburg Institute of
Women & Finance's Sixth Annual Symposium to Promote
Professional Growth Opportunities for Female Advisors
Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT: LTS, LTS
PrA) (“Ladenburg”), a leading network of independent broker-dealers
and financial advisory firms, today congratulated three of its
subsidiaries for being recognized across the industry for their
success in recruiting women financial advisors and supporting their
professional development. Ladenburg subsidiaries Securities
America, Triad Advisors and KMS Financial Services were named as
three of the top five independent broker-dealers with the greatest
number of female advisors as a percentage of their total advisors
by Financial Planning magazine as part of its annual FP50 survey, a
prestigious ranking of the top independent broker-dealers in the
country. In an article published on June 25, 2017 and titled “FP50
2017: Which IBDS Have the Most Women Advisers," Securities America
is ranked #2 in the industry with 30% female advisors, Triad
Advisors is ranked #3 with 28% female advisors, and KMS Financial
Services is ranked as #5 with 26% female advisors.
Richard Lampen, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Ladenburg, said, "We're delighted that we continue to lead the way
in championing the professional growth of female financial
advisors. Ladenburg's recognition in the FP50 is a natural
culmination of our early awareness years ago on the surging
importance of women in our economy, and our decision to get ahead
of this trend. Since then, we've built extensive resources to
promote the careers of female advisors, while aligning all advisors
across our subsidiaries – both men and women – with the tools they
need to more effectively serve female clients. We congratulate
Securities America, Triad Advisors and KMS Financial Services on
their accomplishments in supporting the success of female advisors,
and most importantly, we thank the advisors affiliated with all of
our subsidiary firms for the incredible work they do every
day."
This industry-wide recognition comes as the Ladenburg Institute
of Women & Finance (the "Institute") opens registration this
week for its sixth annual Symposium, which will be held from
October 2-3, 2017 in Miami, FL, and brings together female advisors
throughout the Ladenburg organization. Established five years ago
with the goal of actively promoting education, networking and
career advancement opportunities for women advisors across
Ladenburg's subsidiaries, the Institute also facilitates the
mentoring of new female advisors through its LIFT Mentoring
Program. The Symposium, which has grown each year since its
inaugural event in 2012, is anticipated to welcome over 175
participants this year, encompassing home office leaders, financial
advisors and industry experts from diverse professional
backgrounds.
Commenting on behalf of the Ladenburg Institute of Women &
Finance, Jaime Desmond, Chief Operating Officer of Ladenburg
Thalmann Asset Management, said, "The growing role women play as
household financial decision-makers, primary breadwinners and
holders of personal wealth brings with it considerable opportunity
for the financial advisors we support. The Ladenburg Institute of
Women & Finance is an outstanding example of how Ladenburg
looks around corners to see what's ahead for our industry –
sometimes years in advance – and then moves decisively to create
platforms that our subsidiaries and their affiliated advisors can
use to drive future growth. Having been closely involved with the
Institute since its inception, I'm very proud of everything we've
achieved for the advisors we support and, more broadly, across the
retail financial advice industry."
