Improving Visibility for Advisors of Color

After a long career with established financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch, State Farm, and SunTrust Bank, SunTrust Investment Services, Dana L. Wilson saw first hand how the lack of diversity in the industry was impacting her career and those around her. She decided to take matters into her own hands to improve visibility and access, and founded CHIP Professionals, a database for investors to find advisors of color.

 

Dana sits down with our VP of Marketing, Solange Jacobs Randolph, to discuss how CHIP is helping to bridge the gap between consumers and advisors of color and increase conversations around wealth building. They explore why an investor may seek an advisor of color, how advisors can set the right expectations for client relationships, and why the mission of CHIP is so important for the industry today.
