RE: RE: News
RE: RE: NewsIPC is probably the only dealership that treats their advisors as the most important commodity/relationship that they have.
Are you that unattached from reality to think that the private sector has some sort of equality issue, regardless of the value you bring to the table? It doesn't look bad on them that they treat advisors slightly differently. It will always be that way. I am sure that you do it as well.
Let me ask you this question. If you had a $75M book of business and another rep had a $10M book, do you expect to get the exact same treatment? Whether it is from your dealership or from the mutual fund companies, you are going to receive slightly different treatment. If you only have a million dollars with a fund company and your associate has $10M with them, are you upset that you don't get invited to various events and golf when your associate does because you think you should be treated the same?
We are not talking about night and day here. The Advisors/shareholders pay the same fees, have the same systems, get the same updates, have access to the same websites, have access to the same products, etc. The service you receive is going to be 98% similar to everyone else. I am sure the same goes for your clients. Do you pick up all the transfer out fees, call all your clients quarterly, send thank you notes to all your clients, send christmas presents and birthday wishes and take all your clients out to dinner? Even the ones that have $1,000 in a MF and contribute $25/mo and have never given you a referral?
What about equality for all? It doesn't exist and it can't.
