The other part of our team includes our broker dealer, RIA, and our custodians.

Our Broker Dealer - Geneos Wealth Management, Inc.

Our broker dealer is Geneos Wealth Management. A broker-dealer is a firm registered with FINRA and the SEC that's legally allowed to buy and sell securities — both on behalf of clients (acting as a "broker") and sometimes for its own account (acting as a "dealer").


The broker-dealer is the firm an advisor is licensed under to place trades, and it's also the entity that supervises the advisor's business, handles compliance oversight, licensing, and often provides the technology and back-office infrastructure the advisor uses day to day.


Cox Global Associates can act as a broker or registered representitive charging fees for trades in a non-fiduciary role. 

Our RIA(Registered Investment Advisor) - Geneos Wealth Management Inc.

Our RIA is also Geneos Wealth Management. A Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) is a firm that's registered with either the SEC or a state securities regulator to provide investment advice for compensation. The defining legal feature is that an RIA, and its advisors, is held to a fiduciary standard. It's legally required to act in the client's best interest at all times.


Cox Global Associates can act in a fiduciary role as a Investment Advisor Representative charging an annual fee that is a percentage of assets for investment management services.

Our Custodians

A custodian is a separate institution — often a large bank, trust company, or brokerage firm — that actually holds and safeguards a client's assets: the cash and securities in their account. The custodian is responsible for things like issuing account statements, processing deposits and withdrawals, and executing the trades an advisor places. Keeping custody separate from advice is a safeguard — it means the advisor managing a client's money isn't also the one physically holding it.


Custodians we have access to include: Pershing LLC (a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation), NFS (National Financial Services LLC which is a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments), and several firms affiliated with mutual fund companies.
