Commonwealth Financial Network

About Commonwealth

Commonwealth is the second-largest, privately held independent broker/dealer in the United States, with offices in Waltham, Massachusetts, and San Diego, California. Since 1979, we've been helping our field force of independent financial professionals help investors like you pursue your financial goals. We do that by providing them with the technology, research, resources, and support that allow them to keep their focus on what's most important: you and your financial objectives.

By partnering with Commonwealth, an independent broker/dealer, your advisor is demonstrating a commitment to providing you with objective advice free of bias or conflict of interest. That's because Commonwealth does not produce any proprietary investment products of its own or impose sales quotas on its advisors. So your Commonwealth advisor is free to focus solely on what's right for you and to act only in your best interests.

Education that keeps your advisor in the know
