Daniel P. Duff & Associates

Planning Pays Off

 

In 1986, Daniel P. Duff, already an accomplished financial planner with a major brokerage firm, recognized that the products he was required to sell sometimes conflicted with his clients' best interests.  So, in an effort to better serve them, he decided to become an independent planner, opening his own firm, Duff and Associates, and chose Raymond James Financial Services as his broker/dealer. For Dan, this was a simple choice because Raymond James did not require that proprietary investments be sold and had no conflicting commission schedules, therefore allowing the opportunity for him to decide what was best for each client's needs without any conflicts. In addition to these significant benefits, Raymond James was also large enough to offer the professional support to service his clients and grow his business.
 

Now, nearly twenty-five years later, our business has grown, and our commitment to the client, not the commission, remains the same. Together with Raymond James, at Duff and Associates we look forward to a long future of providing unbiased financial advice that works for YOU.
