After serving as an independent advisor for more than 20 years, our founder, David Millican, launched Arkadios. The reason was simple: he experienced first-hand how broker dealers were changing the game and making decisions based on corporate goals instead of the needs of advisors like you and your clients.
We believe that advisors are at their best when they aren’t just told what not to do, but are empowered to reach even further.
“Black Stone Capital found an ideal partner in Arkadios with CEO David Millican, who built his own business through recruiting and acquisitions. We are going to continue to grow our firm, leveraging Arkadios’ experience and support, while putting our client’s financial well-being first.”
“Arkadios checked all the boxes, advisor-owned, advisor-focused, smaller, flexible, willing to hear what we have to say and help us find solutions that are in our clients’ best interest.”
Want the flexibility to operate both a fee-based and a commission-based practice? By working with a firm that’s dual registered as both an RIA and a Broker Dealer, you get to maintain or establish your own RIA firm or operate under our corporate RIA, Arkadios Wealth Advisors.
