"sensible, balanced alternative" - Our sister company, Stifel Nicolaus, a member of the NYSE, has for over 100 years, successfully assisted individuals in the management of their financial affairs. An independent affiliate with Century Securities has the best of both worlds - an opportunity to use all the resources of Stifel Nicolaus and the freedom of making important decisions.

"traditional, registered investment professional" - Many investment executives currently employed with a national or regional firm are expected to be entrepreneurs (responsible for finding their own clients with their own skills), yet are treated and rewarded like hired hands (low payouts and mandates).

"quality assistance and attention" - Our goal is to add value and make life easier. We are focused on you, the investment professional. The experienced people at Century who assist you do not spend any time managing foreign exchange, merchant banking, and proprietary mutual funds. We have only one business.

"knowledgeably advising" - We believe in enhancing client knowledge and understanding of investment products. Clients seek personalized, professional, trust-based relationships and solutions to their investment problems.

"control over making decisions" - Who knows better than you what resources you need to be successful? (Why do large, top heavy firms think that they have all the answers?) As an affiliate of Century Securities, any money not spent on tall building and layers of management, you keep.
