A BOLD History
In 1998, a group of financial advisors decided to start a new broker/dealer unique to other firms. They agreed to start the company on the condition that all advisors would have the opportunity to take part in ownership and equity of the company.
The founding group envisioned an independent broker/dealer that gave each representative vision, values and voice. During an initial meeting, a vision for the new company that showed expansive growth in advisor production supported with world-class marketing.
In 1999, NEXT Financial Group Inc. was born. The company grew quickly, setting up headquarters in Houston, Texas, and creating its own internal Home Town Marketing company. It was not long before innovative ancillary companies were born. Each of the companies were developed in accordance with NEXT’s culture, giving every advisor the power to make decisions and give input about the company’s future.
Today, NEXT Financial Group Inc. operates under the same principles in which it was founded. It has grown while providing advisors with significant intellectual and capital resource available. The company is owned by its advisors and staff, and no shareholder owns more than 10% of the company. The Board of Directors is made up of six OSJs and all committees within NEXT are run by NEXT advisors. NEXT believes that the strength of any broker/dealer lies in its advisors. In that spirit, NEXT encourages vision and gives advisors control over their own destiny by giving them a voice, equity and revenue in everything they create.
