Where lasting relationships
are the difference

Since 1997, the founders of the firm have stayed true to change that they wanted to make when starting this broker dealer. Over twenty years ago the investment firms and giants of the industry began to make changes to their business models that did not coincide with the sell those firms did in order to obtain the assets that they managed.

This change in practice and shift in ideology gave birth to the founding principle of World Equity Group - the idea that establishing an independent broker dealer that specializes in a customer-centric approach to financial services and investment/asset management should be founded on sound business ethics and strive for more than monetary gain, alone.

“We offer a consistent, enduring approach -
We are that steady partner, that 'Family CFO,'
that our clients know they can trust.”

Our independence is our
defining competitive advantage.

Most advisors choose from a list of products their broker-dealer has selected for them. As a fully-independent firm, we have no proprietary products, and we don't benefit from choosing one product over another. Thus, we have the unique advantage and liberty to find whatever we need in the marketplace and position clients where they'll be treated best.

Your goals and risk preferences determine how we proceed. We analyze individual situations and recommend a comprehensive plan that can help increase and preserve income while seeking to protect it against down markets.
