A LEGACY OF MEETING CLIENT NEEDS

With roots tracing back to 1832, Janney has over 190 years of experience delivering trusted service and advice. Our relationships are built on a foundation of trust, guided by our core values: delivering with integrity, driving for results, keeping people at the center, and exceeding expectations.

PRIVATELY OWNED - FOCUSED ON YOU

As a privately-held firm, Janney is dedicated to meeting the long-term needs of our clients, free from the pressures of quarterly earnings and market demands faced by public companies. We offer the personal attention of a boutique firm, paired with the comprehensive services and resources of a larger organization, all while maintaining a client-first approach.

CONSISTENT FINANCIAL STRENGTH

Janney has reported steady and stable earnings with a record of quarterly operating profitability that goes back over 37 years. Our available capital exceeds regulatory requirements and is strengthened by access to a diverse set of sources to support our overall financial stability.



A CULTURE FOR SUCCESS

If you asked a Janney associate what truly makes it a different type of financial services firm, they would say, “It’s the culture.” The Financial Advisors would tell you they work at a company which provides them with all the resources that they need - cutting edge technology, superior back-office support, continuing education, and ongoing equity research and insights to keep the focus where it belongs: on our clients.

Janney operates with the knowledge that individual relationships are built on service, trust, and integrity. We focus on comprehensive financial planning, treating each client as an individual with unique financial and lifestyle needs, and we avoid cookie-cutter solutions.

ABOUT THE JANNEY PLATFORM AND ADVISORY RELATIONSHIPS

Due to Janney’s private ownership structure, we are able to remain focused on meeting our clients’ needs and interests. Janney provides an open product and services architecture empowering its Financial Advisors with a full range of investment solutions to meet individual client needs.

Depending on your financial needs and personal preferences, as well as the fees and costs associated with those services, you may opt to engage in a brokerage relationship, an advisory relationship or a combination of both. Each time you open a new account, your Financial Advisor will make recommendations on which type of relationship is in your best interest based on the information you provide.

When engaging in an advisory relationship at Janney, you and your Financial Advisor will collaborate on a plan to address your financial goals, along with an investment approach specifically aligned to your needs.

JANNEY AND THE FIDUCIARY STANDARD

The fiduciary standard is a legal requirement that Janney and its Financial Advisors are bound by when offering advisory services—to always act in your best interest with respect to the investment advice and services we provide. It requires a commitment to always put your interests ahead of ours and provide full and fair disclosure of all material facts relating to our advisory relationships, including conflicts of interest.
