B-D GunAllen adds top-producing One Resource team

Independent broker says move was needed to support aggressive growth plan. One Resource Financial Consultants has cut its broker-dealer affiliation with SII Investments to join Gunn-Allen Financial's independent broker network.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-based One Resource says it switched broker-dealers "in order to enhance its independent product line and its back-office services."

Wider range

As a part of GunAllen's network One Resource can provide its clients with access to a broader "range of products and services and its access to alternative investments," according to a GunAllen press release.

One Resource's president Fred Farhoumand says the move to GunAllen gives it access to a wider range of products and services, including alternative investments. "We like to grow aggressively and team up with other advisors and professionals to help our clients develop a financial plan to reach their long-term goals," he adds.

Farhoumand was Appleton, Wisc.-based SII's top national producer in 1998, 1999 and 2000. In 2001 and 2002 he came in second out of about 600 SII-affiliated reps. He founded One Resource late in 2002.

GunnAllen serves about 900 independent brokers in about 200 offices in the U.S. -FWR
