Woodstock Financial is an SEC Registered Investment Adviser. Through our fee-based asset management program, a unique and diverse mix of products is easily within your reach. Our fee-based programs allow you to include such diverse investment vehicles in your client's portfolio as limited partnerships and private equity securities, in addition to more traditional investments such as equities, fixed income, mutual funds, CMO's, structured notes, and CD's. Such tools are a necessity for the sophisticated client seeking a balanced portfolio. You also have the ability to offer your clients comprehensive reports, over and above the printed brokerage statements.

If you have never considered fee-based business, Woodstock Financial has a seamless transition plan to a fee-based model and if you are currently a fee-based advisor, WFG can accommodate and service your business, regardless of the size.
