What is The IFG Brain Trust
Integrated Financial Group (IFG) is a collective of independent financial planners dedicated to helping each other succeed. Membership allows you to concentrate on growing your practice, offloading operational tasks to us, and enriching your knowledge through connections with peers. The hallmark of IFG is The Brain Trust, a unique culture fostering shared wisdom, collaboration, and joint growth. This is achieved through annual retreats, MasterMind Groups, and other interactive platforms that empower members to refine their skills and expand their businesses.
“I’ve always strived to increase my professional knowledge and my service capabilities. So I affiliated with IFG in January of 2016, which has given me access to some of the best thinking in the industry, access to literally hundreds of years of experience. And because of that, there is no client situation or circumstance that we can’t address.”
“It is one thing to make promises to an advisor to gain their partnership. It is another to fulfill those promises. At IFG, there is no gap between what is said and what is done. The culture of IFG is a throwback to the time when corporations treated their people like family, and it is more evident every day that passes that IFG is part of my family. The ability to practice independently and have an extended bench of almost 2,000 years of expertise to draw on is crucial to our success.”
Trent Adams, CFPⓇ Magnolia Financial Group
“When making the decision to become independent, I worried about how I would take care of payroll and benefits for myself and my staff. The Operations Department at IFG takes care of everything and I know their decisions always have my best interest in mind. I don’t have to worry about anything!”
“After many years in the industry and with LPL in particular, I felt like a tadpole in a big ocean. Finding this incredible group has afforded me the opportunity to grow my practice at a rate I know would not have been possible on my own. From my study group, the IFG Retreats, and business coaching, I truly have been given a new lease on life. This isn’t an exaggeration. I have a larger, more manageable practice, more time for the people I love and more joy from interactions with my clients. I am so grateful for IFG’s support – it allows me to be the best advisor I can be. My passion is to do more good for more people and for my community.”
Jerri Hewett Miller, CFPⓇ, RICP, BFA, Wealth Horizon

Independence Starts Here
Corporate RIA
The Corporate RIA model implies a financial planner is affiliated with a Broker-Dealer and operates under the corporate RIA firm as an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR). This type of integrated, full-service relationship with the broker-dealer offers financial planners access to:
Higher Transition Assistance
Simplified Paperwork
RIA – LPL Financial
Broker Dealer – LPL Financial
CCO – LPL Financial
OSJ-IFG
RIA Only
An RIA-only affiliation model implies a financial planner is not affiliated with a broker-dealer, but instead outsources to third-party custodians for key operations within their business. This option offers the highest level of independence as well as:
Higher Advisory Payouts
Financial Planning Fee Flexibility
RIA – IFG Advisory
CCO – IFG
Hybrid RIA
The Hybrid RIA model bridges the gap between the Corporate and RIA-only affiliation models. Through this type of model, a financial planner is affiliated with a broker-dealer for all commissionable work, and uses an outside RIA for all fee-based business. It offers the following benefits:
Higher Advisory Payouts
Financial Planning Fee Flexibility
RIA – IFG Advisory
Broker Dealer – LPL Financial
CCO – IFG
