Sungarden Investment Research and FA today Announce Strategic Media Partnership
New York, NY and Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- Sungarden Investment Research, a leading provider of income-oriented portfolio management strategies for Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs) and FA today, Inc., the exclusive digital media platform with a membership of validated IFAs only, today announced a strategic partnership to provide information to advisors focused on their specific interests.
"FA today comes along at a great time for us," said Robert Isbitts, founder and chief investment strategist of Sungarden Investment Research. "FA today is really the LinkedIn for financial advisors...but more specialized to our industry. -- for advisors, FA today, is probably your primary channel."
Leveraging a combination of intelligent filtering, behavioral modeling, and content curation by active and knowledgeable members, FAtoday.com tailors the content provided by its media partners to the interests of each IFA. This proprietary technology lets FA today dynamically deliver the focused resources, practice management, education, industry-specific news, and data to the IFAs from Sungarden Investment Research and other media partners. FAtoday.com continuously refines this model to deliver only the most relevant information, ensuring that vital resources are not lost because of information overload.
FAtoday.com provides an exclusive digital platform for IFAs. Only IFAs whose credentials have been validated are eligible for membership.
"Between his books, his blog, his public speaking, and his appearances in the media, Rob has established himself as just the kind of thought leader we want as part of our digital professional network for IFAs," said Jason Bishara, president of FA today, Inc. "He's got a big following because he is an original thinker who knows what it takes to succeed in this business and do well by your clients."
Isbitts started his site, sungardeninvestment.com, in 2012, which introduces financial advisors and their clients to Sungarden’s volatility management approach and accompanying portfolios and research. This includes Sungarden’s Cash Flow FocusedTM strategy, which is proving popular with financial advisors who want guidance on generating retirement income for their clients. Previously, Rob worked with Emerald Asset Advisors and Carson Wealth Management. Rob has authored two books on investing and spoken at numerous industry events. He was selected as one of Worth Magazine’s Top 100 Wealth Advisors three times and has been named one of AdvisorPerspectives.com’s “Venerated Voices” each of the past three years.
