Advisor Resources

At Vanderbilt, our number one priority is our advisor’s success. While each advisor’s definition of success will be different, we can all agree that flexibility, focus, service and diversity are critical elements. Vanderbilt remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting our advisors through their transition into the firm, and on an ongoing basis with the most robust, technology enabled and impactful platform we can provide. With easy access to management and back-office support paired with access to a robust technology suite, Vanderbilt advisor partnerships offer tremendous value and results.

Our experienced and hardworking team of professionals provide customized back-office support for each advisor, including assistance with day-to-day business processing, sales, and operational support. 

Our team aids in speeding up processes that can be tedious, long, and bureaucratic at larger firms so that you can focus on what is really important — growing your business. 

The Vanderbilt Concierge Assistant Program(VCAP), is designed to help you save time so you can focus on driving the success of your book.

The Vanderbilt Concierge Assistant Program empowers you to choose where to direct your time, whether it’s towards expanding your business, concentrating on investment management, or enhancing the client experience. Ultimately, this program returns the value of time to you at its essence.

Incorporating an entrepreneurial approach by utilizing a team of VFG-trained virtual assistants who can directly engage with your clients, managing administrative tasks, and collaborating closely with the back office on business processing, creates a mutually beneficial situation. We take care of the “busy work” while you concentrate on what matters most to you.
