Waddell & Reed, Inc., formed in 1937, is one of the most enduring broker/dealers in the United States. We offer advisors an environment which seeks to combine the philosophical and practice flexibility of an independent model with the support and resource infrastructure of a full-service firm. Our Classic advisors emphasize comprehensive financial planning and work in a direct-to-fund environment. Our Choice Advisors, utilizing the brokerage platform of Pershing, LLC, work in an open-architecture environment providing a comprehensive array of products and fee-based structures. Advisors from both operating environments can qualify for stock of our public company and enjoy highly competitive compensation structures within the practice model that they select, with payouts ranging from 60% to 90%. In a commoditized broker/dealer world, we believe we offer a uniquely flexible and supportive structure that provides advisors, and their clients, the opportunity to optimize their success.
