Bobby Brown Private Wealth Advisors
Putting clients’ goals first
Bobby Brown Private Wealth Advisors is a locally owned and operated practice with securities offered through Raymond James Financial Services Inc., member FINRA/SIPC.
They are located in Hot Springs at 2360 Malvern Ave., Suite E, in the Diamond Bank Building.
The practice was founded Nov. 30, 2012, by its president, Bobby Brown, who says “We founded the practice because we wanted the true freedom of offering independent financial advice without the pressure to just sell products. We envisioned putting an emphasis on more in-depth financial planning and asset management on a fee-based platform. We work closely with CPAs and Attorneys to develop a customized plan that serves in the best interest of our clients. Unlike large Wall Street firms that concentrate on the bottom line profitability through commission, we have always felt that putting our client’s goals and objectives first was our main concern.”
We work with corporations, trusts, endowments, businesses, nonprofits and families to help them make smart decisions with their investments. Some of the services offered are asset allocation, asset management, trust services, financial planning, retirement account management, college savings plans, investment banking, public and private financing, as well as corporate retirement plans.
Bobby Brown Private Wealth Advisors chose to align with one of the best firms in the country, Raymond James, based in St. Petersburg, Fla. Raymond James is a different type of financial firm. They embrace long-term planning, value and methodical decision-making and always stay focused on what matters most to the client. Raymond James was first in the nation to publish its Client Bill of Rights, setting the standard for the industry. Raymond James has approximately
7,200 financial advisers in more than 2,900 locations. They have more than 3 million client accounts and manage more than
$643 billion in client assets. * Raymond James’ conservative management approach has delivered 117 consecutive quarters of profitability in its half-century history of strength, stability and service. They have never taken any TARP money. They credit much of this performance to its founding core values of professional integrity, adviser independence and a conservative longterm approach to investments.
