About

Independence Capital Co., Inc. provides portfolio management and financial planning primarily to individual and high-net-worth clients, delivering advisory services through a multi-advisor team (16 advisers serving about 295 clients with roughly $99.9 million in assets under management). Like most multi-team firms, it charges fees based on a percentage of AUM and focuses on personalized portfolio management for individuals.

Advisory services are provided by investment adviser representatives whose disclosures show dual roles in brokerage and insurance activities—e.g., representatives registered with Financial Services of America and licensed as insurance agents—so some clients may be offered commissionable products in addition to fee-based advice. The firm discloses these potential conflicts in its brochure supplement and describes supervisory controls, including oversight by a Chief Compliance Officer, to monitor adherence to its policies and regulatory obligations.

What is atypical for a firm of this size is the degree of broker-dealer and multi-professional affiliations: the firm's ADV and disclosures note broker-dealer-related activity and relationships with other professional entities (including law- and accounting-related affiliations), which is uncommon among peers. The supplement also highlights long-tenured industry roles and the absence of material disciplinary history for its representatives, information that may be useful for prospective clients evaluating individual advisers.
