Your Brokerage Career – Choose Wisely

When determining the Independent Broker/Dealer for you (and your clients), Choose Wisely

1DB’s sole focus is ensuring that you have access to all the financial products and invesment services that will help to meet all of your clients’ needs. We allow our Independent Financial Consultants to select from a wealth of investment options including hundreds of mutual funds, fixed income securities and insurance products, as well as less traditional investments such as managed futures funds, emerging market securities and hedge funds, allowing you to select those avenues that will be most appropriate to meeting all of your clients’ goals.

We take our status as an Independent Broker/Dealer very seriously. 1DB conducts financial due diligence on the investment products we offer to ensure they meet appropriate requirements. However, we don’t show a preference for particular products or product families. 1DB never sets quotas or offers proprietary products, ensuring the autonomy of your decisions and the most appropriate investment choices for your clients. We will, however, always respond with up to the minute investment information or the extensive research you need to make better, more informed choices.

To help you make the most of your time, our Web-based trading platform, TradeVantage Pro, provides dynamic access to your clients' accounts as well as real time industry developments. Our state of the art financial technologies, which include an active trading capability, allow our Independent Financial Consultants to streamline their trading and research efforts and run their business more efficiently.
