Big Strides: Impactful Broker-Dealer and RIA, Vanderbilt Financial Group, Hits Growth Surge Again

WOODBURY, N.Y., July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Impact-focused Investment Firm, Vanderbilt Financial Group, boasts increased recruitment and business growth in the first half of 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

"2020 will be a banner year for growth for Vanderbilt. While other firms have been paralyzed by the effects of the pandemic, we've continued to operate, process and expand our business across the U.S. without a hiccup. Recruitment has been at a record high with many Financial Advisors lined up to join the firm in the coming months," stated Joseph Trifiletti, President of Vanderbilt Financial Group.

Over the past few years, Vanderbilt has steadily increased their investment in the technology offered to their staff and Advisors in an effort to increase more instantaneous electronic business processing, reduce the negative environmental effects that come with physical paperwork processing, and increase the value of an Advisor's practice by being at the forefront of technology.

Stephen Distante, Vanderbilt Financial Group Founder and Chairman, explains that building out the infrastructure of the Firm's technology led to the growth seen this year so far. "Our commitment to technology has evolved out of our commitment to sustainability. Creating a technology stack and having it seamlessly integrate our back office and the financial professionals out in the field serving clients has allowed us to process business faster and more efficiently while increasingly reducing our carbon footprint. Because of this, the pandemic was business as usual – and that was our greatest recruitment tool."

Vanderbilt's explosive 2020 growth strategy includes recruiting individual Financial Advisors as well as the acquisition and expansion of Registered Investment Advisory ("RIA") firms, the fastest-growing segment of the wealth management sector according to a recent joint study by the Investment Adviser Association and National Regulatory Services. Vanderbilt recently acquired a $200M Long-Island based RIA firm that opens up new strategic relationships with Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade available exclusively through the new entity.
