Equity Advisor Solutions

We understand the importance of choice

Choices help you make informed decisions in the best interests of you, your business, and your clients. As your partner in wealth management, we’re always looking for solutions that offer you the freedom and flexibility to better serve your clients.

As part of that effort, we’re excited to announce that advisers working with Flexible Plan now have access to another leading custodian, Equity Advisor Solutions.

What you can expect from Equity Advisor Solutions

• Independence. As an independent trust company, Equity Trust does not offer investment advice, does not offer or sponsor any proprietary investment products, and only processes transactions at the instruction of its clients or their designated financial advisers. Equity Trust offers a truly “open architecture” approach to investment choices and does not offer, solicit, or endorse any investment products or strategies.
• Superior technology. Monitor, change, and get reporting for all of your Equity accounts in one place using the Orion platform solution.
• No additional fees to clients. While there are some miscellaneous fee reductions at Equity compared to other custodians, there are no increases in fees to clients.
• One point of contact. Flexible Plan Investments’ sales and client service teams will continue to be your single point of contact, eliminating the need for you to learn another phone number or email address.
• No additional signatures required. Transferring to this new custodian does not require any additional client signatures.

What your clients can expect from Equity Advisor Solutions

Equity Advisor Solutions provides your clients clear, informative communication every step of the way—from welcome letters to information on how to access their online accounts. However, Equity Advisor Solutions does not compete with you for your clients, like some custodians may do.

How to take advantage of Equity Advisor Solutions

Transferring accounts to Equity Advisor Solutions couldn’t be easier. We have created transfer options designed to alleviate the administrative burden of transitioning the accounts.
