Just for the record, despite the lead in, I am not the President of the Steinberg Financial Group. I am the President and Chief Investment Officer of The Personal Wealth Coach®, an SEC registered investment adviser with about $100 million under management, and a CFP® practitioner.

Ummm, Brooke, I am the President and CIO of an independent RIA and have absolutely no affiliation with any broker-dealer. I do have a contractual relationship with a couple of broker/dealers to hold accounts for my clients, but we are absolutely not a RIA “withing a broker-dealer.”
