Broker-Dealer Membership

FSI Broker-Dealer membership is open to retail broker-dealer firms who serve independent contractor registered representatives and meet the following criteria:

1. Must be doing business with the public (not a wholesale distributor only),
2. Must be selling the products of more than one unaffiliated product company, and
3. Must be a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Financial Services Institute members benefit from key areas of value:

Advocacy Issues

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

Events and Education

FSI holds multiple live 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 podcasts on various industry related topics.  

Resources and Reference

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 documents.
