"We do not have a proprietary focus. We maintain an open architecture for product and Solution access—no product haircuts, and no competition between different areas of the firm.” - John C. Yackel, Executive Vice President/ Head of Wealth Management
Financial Advisors want flexibility to offer their clients investments and financial solutions that match their needs. Janney understands why having choices is so important to you. After all, you know your clients best. That’s why we maintain an open architecture platform for the products and services we offer.
We also price our services so that we don’t set one area of our business against another in competition for your clients’ business. Instead, Janney gives you access to investment products from an array of leading providers— names your clients often recognize and request.
We don’t have a proprietary focus. We put the decisions exactly where they should be—in your hands.
