For Advisors: Working with Polaris Financial
Polaris Financial provides a comprehensive Turnkey Asset Management Program (TAMP). We take care of the back office so our advisors can focus on client interactions, and growth. Polaris Financial specializes in discretionary fee-based portfolio management using ETFs and funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA). We are looking for advisors who share, or are interested in implementing this type of investment philosophy.
