The resulting entity is a full-service, independent broker/dealer with headquarters in St. Petersburg and a West Coast office in Los Angeles, according to a press release. It will keep the Transamerica Financial Advisors name.
“We are committed to the independent broker/dealer distribution channel, and by leveraging a combined back-office and the very best attributes of both entities, the consolidated TFA is an even stronger and more competitive financial services firm,” said Seth Miller, president of TFA.
