Anyone worked for State Farm? A recruiter contacted me abt taking over a book of business in my area. I am wondering if I could do that and also be RIA?

For them to allow an OBA that was an RIA, you would have to be bringing a HUGE track record to the table. Even then, you will tear out your hair and your eyeballs dealing with compliance over your independent RIA . . . until you either leave or shut it down.

That plan will not work. You would be an employee of State Farm, you would be securities licensed through them, and it's FAR from a part time job. They would almost certainly not allow you to maintain an outside RIA.

K that's what I thought. It was a long shot idea.

I think it is about as good of a captive setup as there is, though. I understood that it is a contractor relationship but I'm sure they wouldn't allow an OBA.

I heard state farm was getting out of advising, and focusing on just insurance again. Can anyone confirm?

Yes. They outsourced all the service on their mutual fund clients to a call center

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.
