In an effort to provide our clients with an integrated and totally seamless one-stop solution to their investment needs, including custody of assets and trade execution services, we maintain a working relationship with, and clear all trades through, TD Ameritrade Institutional Services, one of the nation’s largest discount brokerage firms.

Galápagos Advisors, LLC is totally independent from and not affiliated with TD Ameritrade Institutional Services. We neither receive nor accept any rebates, commissions, finders’ fees, or economic benefit of any kind from TD Ameritrade Institutional Services.

We selected TD Ameritrade Institutional Services as our strategic ally after a rigorous assessment of such factors as integrity, financial strength, reliability, and expertise. In TD Ameritrade Institutional we found all that plus one of the broadest possible selections of investment products, a competitive fee structure, and user-friendly state-of-the-art technology. We believe that our clients stand to benefit from this relationship.

This simply means that we will not buy, sell, trade, or exchange any securities in your investment account(s) without your expressed oral or written consent.

We will not have, and we will not accept, discretionary authority over your investment portfolio(s).
