Independent Research Sources Our financial advisors have access to multiple research platforms that are not influenced by investment banking relationships. A wide range of technical and fundamental research services are available. 5. Superior Investment Account Features and Benefits A 1st Worldwide brokerage account allows your clients to bank and invest through one account offering the following features and benefits:
Instead of charging commissions for each transaction, financial advisors can set up investment accounts which automatically charge a fixed annual fee as a percentage of assets and the client pays no transaction costs or commissions. This account is ideal for financial advisors who want to develop a fee based rather than a commission based relationship with their clients, but do not want to turn the assets over to third party money managers. 7. Large Selection of Fixed Income Offerings Financial advisors have internet access to the large inventory municipal, corporate, agency and government bonds and notes as well as CD's through Bond Central and BNY Capital Markets, a Bank of New York Company. Over 70 separate fixed income dealers are represented on Bond Central, and the pricing of fixed income instruments of all types can be viewed through various search criteria. Advisors can select a range of bond options to their clients by selecting the maturity, credit quality, yield and other factors that meet the client's specifications. 1st Worldwide also has access to several other fixed income brokers as well. 8. Account Protection Our clients automatically receive account protection for the net equity of their securities positions and cash in their account. Of that total, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) provides $500,000 of net equity protection, including $100,000 for claims for cash awaiting reinvestment (SIPC protection). Pershing provides additional protection (excess SIPC) on terms similar to SIPC for account net equity in excess of $500,000 though commercial insurer. Visit www.sipc.org for more information about SIPC. Account protection applies when a SIPC member fails financially and is unable to meet obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against losses from the rise and fall in the market value of investments. Please contact 1st Worldwide for additional information on this coverage. 9. Managed Account Programs Clients can select from a full range of managed asset programs with various investment styles and objectives. More than 100 asset managers participate in the various programs that are available. The managed asset programs include wrap separate accounts and mutual fund wrap accounts.
