In addition to its commission-based business, Resources Investment Advisors provides compliance and marketing support for 11 independent advisory practices that collectively support approximately $5 billion in client assets, Triad said in a release. The practices affiliated with Resources Investment Advisors concentrate on corporate retirement plans. Triad, headquartered in Atlanta, is a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc.
