WHY GARDEN STATE?

A relationship with Garden State Securities, Inc. is notably different

• Our independent business model – Since we are not limited by a bureaucratic structural hierarchy, we are free to utilize the best products from the best companies in the marketplace, period. Garden State Securities, Inc. tailors each solution to meet each specific customer need.
• Customer service - Bigger is not better, especially when it comes to customer service. Unlike most wirehouse firms that have established call centers for “smaller” household accounts, Garden State Securities, Inc. handles customer issues, regardless of account size, from start to finish.
• A team that focuses extensively on you - Garden State Securities, Inc. feels that quality is much more important than quantity. By limiting the number of clients we work with, gives us the ability to provide a personalized level of service and investment advice of the highest quality.

• We do not make investment decisions in an economic vacuum – Most advisors fail to recognize the fact that our economy goes through very different medium and long term cycles, relying heavily on a theory that averages out the effects of these different cycles over a 70 plus year time horizon to construct client portfolios. Garden State Securities, Inc. realizes that the right investment strategy can vary greatly from one environment to another. Our solutions do not rely on a one-size fits all approach, but rather we utilize a more tactical approach to asset allocation.
• Active money management & disciplined risk management – After the tech bubble burst of 2000-2002, the pitfalls of linear return assumptions and buy and hold strategies have been clearly exposed as potentially reckless ways to manage money. Garden State Securities, Inc. takes an active, not passive approach to portfolio management, combining layers of technical and fundamental analysis. However we believe that the key to investment success is disciplined risk management, i.e. understanding the potential risks to the overall portfolio before each investment is made.

• Dealing directly with the Executives of the firm – One of the significant advantages of working with Garden State is your account will be managed by a team of professionals that includes the Executive Officers. We believe this affords our clients the opportunity to get a more transparent view of both the services provided and the fees associated with them.
• Our designations – With more than 100 years of combined experience in the financial services industry, Garden State Securities, Inc. team not only has the experience but also the necessary credentials to manage your money. CFP®, CPA, and RIA are just a few of the industry designations that our team maintains, and while these are noteworthy, Garden State Securities, Inc. is just as focused on continuing education to ensure that clients have access to the most effective and sophisticated strategies available today.
