For Financial Advisors

Complimentary services
in exchange for engagement.

You give us your time and your willingness to engage with the network. We give you research, tools, visibility, and introductions that would cost real money elsewhere. This is a two-sided network. You are the demand side. Mutual fund and ETF issuers (Sponsors) are the paying customer. Everything you receive is real, professional-grade work.

How the credit system works

Every time you engage with the network, you earn credits in the Advisor Portal. Credits are transparent. Every event is timestamped. There is no opaque scoring or hidden weight. You see the same numbers we do.

Actions that earn credits

  • Accept a Sponsor meeting
  • Attend a meeting or webinar
  • Answer a research poll
  • Give feedback on a Sponsor product
  • Appear on Lead-Lag Live as a guest
  • Participate in an advisor briefing

Actions that reduce credits

  • Meeting no-shows
  • Ignored engagement requests over multiple cycles
  • Opting out of a Sponsor pipeline you previously agreed to

Note: Sponsor-side cancellations never penalize your credits.

A large-firm captive rep with narrow product access; unable to accept outside content or research; unwilling to attend structured meetings.

Frequently asked

Is this really free?

Yes. There is no advisor subscription, no upsell, no trial period. The catch, if you want to call it a catch, is that we ask for engagement in return, and no-shows do reduce your credit balance.

Do you sell my information to Sponsors?

No. We do not share advisor identity data with Sponsors without your explicit consent for a specific meeting. Sponsors see aggregated engagement metrics through their portal, not your name, contact information, or firm.

What is the credit balance actually good for?

Higher credit balances unlock priority access to premium services (custom research, higher-tier podcast slots, feature placements). They also protect your standing in the network so you keep getting the best Sponsor introductions.
