Why You Can Trust the Brain Trust
We do things differently.
Driven by our vision to foster a community of like-minded planners who believe in the power of collective resources to serve their clients better, we choose members like the best financial planners choose their clients. Our goal is to find dedicated financial planners who embrace both independence and participation in the Brain Trust.
We take our selection process very seriously.
Our mutual selection process is not something we take lightly. We turn down over 90% of prospective advisors because we know it’s important to get it right. If a planner transitions to IFG, our goal is to exceed their expectations, so they never have to do another transition again. IFG maintains strict requirements for all planners who are allowed to join.
