      We work with advisors who are committed to our “Plan First, Invest Second” approach to wealth management. We believe the plan drives the investment decision, not the other way around. Whether you want to outsource investment management to institutional asset managers or serve as the investment manager yourself, USA Financial has you covered.

      You’ve got options.

      For registered representatives

      As an independent broker-dealer, financial professionals who function as Registered Representatives (RRs) will have access to our various investment options that are offered on a commission basis. These include variable annuities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and more.

      For investment advisors

      Whether you affiliate with us as an IAR (Investment Advisor Representative) or RIA (Registered Investment Advisor), you’re free to manage client assets yourself or leverage our platform and gain access to a host of managed strategies via USA Financial Exchange.

      Prefer to manage the assets yourself? No problem.

      Want to outsource the asset management to third-party professionals? Done.

      Unemotional investment management.

      Challenge the conventional approach to investing—driven by individual decisions—with our unemotional investing approach. Our investment solutions were designed to provide both flexibility and diversified options, allowing you to build portfolios for a range of investment goals in any market conditions.

      Formulaic Investment Solutions

      You recognize the importance of integrating risk management into the portfolios for your clients, but that’s easier said than done. Founded on the belief that the stock market has trends, our strategies seek to help your clients find the right balance between taking investment risk and managing it.

      Based on internal research by our USA Team, formulaic strategies were developed to specifically remove the emotion from the investment management equation. In addition, we offer a host of other strategies from external research partners.

      Rethink Diversification

      Each client has their own unique set of goals and levels of risk tolerance. Navigating your clients to a chosen portfolio plan can be a challenge. Here at USA Financial, we’re continuing to monitor market changes and provide offensive and defensive tools that aim to both smooth out market volatility and seek long-term growth.

      With a Unified Managed Account (UMA), we developed USA Financial Exchange, a multi-dimensional approach to investment portfolio diversification. Your clients want a comprehensive plan to combat the risks that threaten the long-term success of their portfolio. This approach addresses some of the emotional and cognitive biases facing your clients.

      Traditional asset class allocation
      Exposure among a wide range of sectors, companies large and small, value- and growth-focused companies, fixed income exposure, or globally diverse. Asset allocation aims to balance risk and reward by apportioning a portfolio's assets according to an investor's goals.

      Active risk management strategies
      Market trends and/or momentum-based exit strategies can be made along with formula-based indication strategies, fundamental, technical, quantitative, and qualitative analysis. Diversifying amongst different risk management approaches is becoming the preferred method for those that appreciate active management. 

      Investor stage
      Allocations are made with the client’s time horizon in mind and a clearly defined purpose for each strategy. It factors in things like income distribution needs, asset designation (purpose driven), and defining income withdrawal into specific time blocks.

      Tax optimization 
      There’s an adage that says “it’s not about what you make, it’s about what you get to keep.” Savvy advisors, like yourself, work with their clients to diversify client accounts by tax status and factor short-term and long-term taxability into the portfolio decision process. 

      What your peers are saying:

      Being aligned with USAF and having the opportunity of the various securities platforms that they allow us to provide to our clients has really increased the amount of production we've done over the years. And, how does it affect our overall business model? Well, with the increase in production, of course, we have increased revenue, which then allows us to grow our business and offer more to our client base. So it's tremendous and we're just very appreciative to have that opportunity.

      The use of AUM in my business model has made it sustainable and it's been a tremendous way to build income both for short-term and long-term... And in a big way it's really turned our business into a true business rather than a transactional business.
