I am an independent advisor that clears with First Clearing (now Wells Fargo Clearing). I do not like having to work with WF. We have had many headaches since they bought out FC. Their platform and technology stink. None of my outside software such as Wealthbox, Zocks, or Right Capital communicate. Have about 150 AUM with 100 AUM in advisory am growing. I am thinking about going RIA. Any advice on companies to clear with or going with a hybrid situation would be greatly appreciated.
