Many of you look forward to the June issue of Financial Planning every year. Some of you are independent broker-dealers, eagerly awaiting to see where your firm ranks in our Independent Broker-Dealer Guide in terms of revenue, payout and various other telling factors. Some of you are B-D's associated with wirehouse firms, turning to our survey to help direct you on your path toward going independent. And still others use our survey as a reference, keeping it close by year-round to stay knowledgeable on which broker-dealers are doing what—and who is doing it best.

Now, for the first time, you have all the information you need right at the click of a mouse. By visiting www.financial-planning.com and clicking on B-D Scorecard on the menu bar at the top of the page, you will find all of this year's FP50 firms plus each of this year's Up and Comers broken down by individual product revenue, payout grids, minimum production quota, corporate staff and many more revealing facts never before printed. Now you can examine all 82 firms by any and all criterion, giving you the most extensive comparison of independent broker-dealers in the industry. You will also find stories describing the trends of this year's survey, as well as the current and future state of the independent B-D industry.

Financial Planning will also be hosting its second Women's Advisor Forum in Chicago on October 15. Compelling speakers made the first Women's Advisor Forum in New York City a hit, and this one will not dissapoint either.
