Broker Dealer

Classic, LLC

Classic, LLC (Classic) is a broker/dealer, member of FINRA and SIPC and is a sister company of CAM. Due to the general direction of the investment advisory business, it has become difficult for advisors to operate an independent RIA business while retaining a general securities relationship at a broker/dealer firm. Many advisors who are interested in transitioning to a fee based business are reluctant to give up their securities license as well as the trails being earned on many of the products they have sold over the years. In addition, broker/dealer firms have often imposed production or revenue requirements that are not realistic for advisors doing a significant portion of their business on the RIA platform. Classic was formed to address these issues. The management team at Classic has a combined experience of over 74 years in the broker/dealer business. In addition to their duties as managers of the sister firms, the management team continues to provide investment management services on a retail basis. This helps them maintain a fresh perspective on the challenges and responsibilities that successful advisors face every day.

Put the experience of the “Classic” team to work for you.

CLASSIC Relationships

We ascribe to relationship principles noted in the book “Everything You’ve Heard Is Wrong” by Tony Campolo (Word Publishing Dallas, Texas, copyright 1992). In his book Tony states:  “People are not things to be manipulated with the right techniques.  They are not Pavlovian dogs.  We do not have the right to set them up to respond to the ‘proper’ stimuli in order to elicit the ‘proper’ response. They are not creatures to be used to further our own economic self-interest.  People are sacred!  And all of them deserve to be treated with reverent respect.  Too often, in our attempt to get people to buy what we’re selling, we approach them as though they were object instead of subjects. Too easily, we learn to have with them what the great Jewish philosopher, Martin Buber, called ‘I-it’ relationships rather than ‘I-you’ relationships.  People whom we encounter in the marketplace deserve better.  They are entitled to a measure of awe and wonder and even a bit of love.”  

Let us be an extension of your team. We’ll help maximize your time… and your bottom line.

 

CLASSIC Independence

The owners and management of Classic and Classic Asset Management understand the American entrepreneur’s desire for true independence. We do not offer proprietary products or set production quotas.  When an advisor or RIA firm becomes associated with the Classic organization, they are truly independent. They are free to set their own goals, determine their office location hours and staff, set their marketing strategy, pursue business in any location in which they are licensed and decide their own product mix.  What Classic asks in return is that business is conducted in a quality manner with the highest of ethical, moral and legal standards that will make us proud of you.

If you’re fiercely independent, you’ve just found your new home!
