Broker-Dealer Membership

FSI Broker-Dealer members benefit from key areas of value: advocacy, events, education, and resources.

Advocacy Issues

Our principle value proposition for independent broker-dealers and independent financial advisors is advocacy. And advocacy is not a spectator sport. It is involvement, engagement, influence, education and awareness. Get involved.

Events and Education

FSI holds multiple education and networking events throughout the year for home office employees of Broker-Dealer members. Members also have access to on demand web conferences and conference calls on various industry related topics. View events.

Resources

Members have access to a multitude of resources and reference materials including the annual Broker-Dealer Performance & Compensation Study, a private online community and reports and white papers. See full list.
