POSITION SUMMARY:
PEAK American is a Plano, TX based investment management firm serving the mass affluent and UHNW markets. We are one of the fastest growing RIAs in Texas, offering a tremendous opportunity and framework for an experienced wealth advisor to scale quickly and work with an experienced team that truly will support you.
The most challenging aspects as a Wealth Advisor are the ability to grow your client book fast while maintaining a solid lead flow, marketing support, and investment support so you can concentrate on your clients’ success and continue to build. PEAK provides all the leads and support you need to achieve this and advance your financial sales career to another level. Talented sales professionals with a passion for finance can achieve very high earnings potential while building a long-term book of business that compensates you over a lifetime…and we promise, you won't go it alone.
As a Financial Advisor with Peak American Financial, you'll help clients achieve PEAK performance in retirement and change their “probability of winning” by providing sound financial advice including investments, financial planning, legacy planning, and life and annuity solutions. The best part is that we support you in ways that are unheard of in the industry.
Your PEAK Team will provide you with extensive support, working alongside you to close new business and support your existing book. PEAK will pay for direct and indirect marketing for lead generation, and enable you to grow as fast as you can. You will have your own in-house investment and planning team, backed by a dynamic group of industry leaders including CFA’s, seasoned market strategists, and media personalities appearing on outlets such as Fox Business News, Bloomberg and CNBC. We offer a UHNW investment platform that’s cost effective and competitive with the largest investments and wealth firms on the street.
We are looking for quality talent who will be committed to our PEAK Performance Philosophy and someone who wants to be a part of our dynamic investment team. We are a high-performing culture, helping our advisors produce $20-$40 million in sales per year. The “cookie cutter” corporate mentality types that want to work 9-5 would be a better fit for our competitors, but not here at PEAK. Advisors should expect to earn $200k+ first year, and $300k - $400k within the first three years.
PEAK offers a very competitive base salary and total compensation package that’s uncapped including full employee benefits package to support your efforts, commitment to the PEAK Performance Philosophy and your family’s well-being.
