Affiliation Models

The great news is that regardless of how you affiliate, you will have realized the dream of working for yourself....and in the best interests of your clients. Unbiased Advice... Customized Service...An Accretive Business.all while successfully running your practice the same way you always have by utilizing the same resources to which you and your clients have grown accustomed.

For those who like and appreciate the balance of responsibilities with your current home office but want more flexibility while operating and advising clients on an independent platform. You understand that what you enjoy most about this business is working with people. You want to delegate those time-consuming functions like compliance, operations, marketing, and research to our highly experienced team. Unlike before, this truly is Your Business, Your Process, Your Advice.....to do what is in the best interest of YOUR clients. Full affiliation is the model most similar to your current situation but with all the benefits of being independent.

For the most entrepreneurial-minded advisors. You want to hang your own shingle, but you still value a few outsourced functions in operations or compliance, for example. You feel the call to not only work IN the business but ON the business too, but you also know when to delegate responsibilities and might wish to take management, compliance, and/or HR functions off your plate. We have a tailored solution for this scenario as well. Affiliation Lite is a Supported-DIY solution operating more hands-on and more autonomously on the business.

Why Nest

For you.
For your clients.
For your legacy.

For decades advisors in the traditional employee-model firms have had limited choice in platforms for delivering unbiased, unfiltered advice, planning, and solutions to clients. Wirehouse brokerage firm options were even more limited, especially if you were located outside of a major metro area. Besides that, many Financial Advisors believed going independent was a bridge too far...that you would spend all your time hiring, firing, and paying utility bills instead of actually working with clients. When you got into the business, you were likely told that this was your business and that you were running your own practice. But the reality is that many broker dealers have the mindset that clients work with an advisor because of the company on the business card. And how about compensation plans? Are they adjusted each year leaving you constantly pivoting?

NEST Capital is built for successful, experienced advisors who know what they want for their practice and who know how to delegate tasks that get in the way of focusing on clients. NEST Capital...for you...for your clients...for your legacy.

Your Goals

What happens when you retire? Your clients get redistributed by the branch and may be assigned to advisors not of your choosing. Why not take control of that process and choose your own successor: one you trust to take as good a care of your clients as you have. No one knows your clients better than you. And they trust your judgement and recommendations. Choose a successor that you TRUST.

Your career is about to takeoff. Your runway is still long. Retirement is over the horizon and you have big plans for your practice, your associates, and your clients. Finding a trusted partner who can take care of administrative tasks frees you up to focus on even greater growth.

NEST Capital can serve as your continuity partner buying you time until your successor is ready to take over the business.

"Once I made the decision to move my practice, I spent a great deal of time doing research for the “right fit.” They say in real estate it's “Location, Location, Location.” For me, as an advisor joining another practice, it was “Culture, Culture, Culture.” When I met with Lisa and Eric, it was clear that we shared the same priorities and philosophies for our clients and associates. They have created that successful culture and joining Katterhenry Investment Group [NEST Capital] has been one of the best investment decisions of my career!”
