FAIRFAX, Va., Oct. 2 -- Turmoil in the financial markets has sent record numbers of investors to the Edelman Financial Network™ in search of financial advisors they can trust.
Established earlier this year by well-known advisor Ric Edelman, the EFN has distributed more than 500 referrals to Network members in the past week alone. More than 75 independent financial advisors have been the beneficiaries of these referrals, and they’re busy booking appointments and welcoming new clients into their practices.
Such high consumer interest is generated by Edelman’s popular radio show and best-selling books.
Financial advisors pay no fee to join the Network, and they enjoy access to the Edelman Managed Asset Program®, one of the fastest-growing money management programs in the nation, with $3 billion in assets. EMAP invests exclusively in the highly regarded funds of Dimensional Fund Advisors as well as exchange-traded funds. The EFN members also receive substantial practice management training and marketing support from Edelman, one of the nation’s most successful financial advisors.
“People are worried,” said Edelman. “Their investments are down and they want advice. But they don’t want to return to the guy who got them into this predicament. Through the Edelman Financial Network they can find someone they can trust, thanks to our thorough vetting process.”
Edelman is seeking 500 additional advisors to help meet consumer demand. Advisors interested in learning more about EMAP and the Edelman Financial Network should contact Edelman at 866-611-EMAP or emap@emapadvisor.com, or visit EFN’s Web site: http://www.emapadvisor.com/cs/EFN
