SPS Family, the parent company of broker-dealers Sigma Financial Corp. and Parkland Securities, as well as RIA Sigma Planning Corp., announced this week that it’s rebranding as Axtella.
The company said the new name was inspired by the words stellar, nexus, and constellation, and that those words relate to its core values.
“We have a proven 40-year history of pioneering together with our financial professionals and supporting them through each phase of their business development,” Jerry Rydell, the firm's owner and CEO, said in a statement. “Moving forward as Axtella, we honor our roots while simultaneously setting a fresh benchmark.”
