Editorial Mission

FA was created exclusively for independent financial planners and RIAs.

Operating on the premise that an individual's personal and financial lives are inextricably linked, the magazine tackles issues from college funding, second careers and divorce to charitable giving, business succession and retirement, estate and legacy planning.

As a periodical aimed at established, sophisticated advisors, FA challenges traditional financial planning wisdom and introduces readers to new approaches practice and investment management and helping clients to align their financial and personal life goals.

In an era when both advisors and individuals are bombarded with a deluge of information, FA cuts through the clutter by translating useful information into action-oriented knowledge, presented in compelling fashion that places clients' interests first. Our conference and electronic offerings have been designed to compliment our print publications to create a platform that truly engages our readers, and has quickly made Financial Advisor the magazine on which sophisticated advisors rely.
