Vanderbilt Financial Group Recruited Approximately $650 million in Assets by August 2021
Vanderbilt Financial Group, also known as The Sustainable Wealth Management Firm, continues its recruiting streak through August 2021!
WOODBURY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ivory Johnson, joins VFG from Washington, D.C. Ivory focuses on cryptocurrencies and says they disrupt traditional finance.
“Cryptocurrencies will disrupt traditional finance because one of their most attractive utilities is the ability to efficiently transfer payment across borders with little to no cost, delay, or foreign currency fluctuations. With respect to bitcoin, 50 years is a long time and bitcoin could either become the world reserve currency or the next AOL that made a lot of people wealthy until it was unseated by better technology.” -Ivory Johnson (Nova, 2021).
He graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance. Ivory is an active member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. and the Immediate Past President of the 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, D.C., recipient of the 2018 D.C. Chamber of Commerce Nonprofit of the Year. He is a member of the CNBC Financial Advisor Council, made up of 20 high-level financial professionals, appearing as a financial planning guest on various broadcast shows. He has been quoted regularly in numerous publications, including US News & World Report, The Journal of Financial Planning, Black Enterprise, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Investment News, and The Wall Street Journal.
In addition to Ivory, another 12 advisors joined VFG. Eight of the advisors are coming from a regional independent broker/dealer and investment advisory firm headquartered in Connecticut with branch offices in Connecticut and New Jersey. The other advisors include Thomas Turner with an office in Rockford, Michigan; Devesh Purohit with an office in Totowa NJ; Gale A. Brodie with an office in Elk Grove, California; and Matthew Flaks with an office in Lake Worth, Florida.
