Who We Are
We're built for advisors who think
Our structure, systems, and culture are designed for entrepreneurial-minded professionals who want to lead, grow, and create something meaningful. Our role is to remove barriers, clear distractions, and create space for advisors to focus on what matters most: their clients and their growth. Everything we do begins with two questions:
Are we the right cultural fit? and Can we help this advisor grow both personally and professionally? If the answer is yes, we go all in.
Mission
Our mission is simple: to stay relentlessly focused on relationships. We help advisors major in their majors by anticipating needs before they become challenges and responding with urgency and care. We believe that achievement should be celebrated and that success is most rewarding when it’s shared.
Vision
Our vision is to build a community of performance-minded advisors who expect greatness — for themselves and for their clients. Through collaboration, expertise, and an open-architecture platform, we create an ecosystem where advisors can optimize every part of their business and client experience.
We are advisor-obsessed.
We don’t take over — we back you up with proactive, personalized support that anticipates your needs and delivers the right resources at the right time.
We value flexibility without compromise.
As we’ve grown, our core beliefs and governance principles have become the foundation for how we make decisions, support our reps, and guide financial planning recommendations on their behalf.
Our relationships are everything.
At Divergent, we help each other succeed through authentic relationships, open collaboration, and a shared belief that success is better when it’s shared.

Our Commitment to Community
At Divergent, community impact starts with our people. We believe the strongest communities are built when people are empowered to support the causes that matter most to them. Each year, our Advisors and team members nominate the causes they care about most, guiding how we invest our philanthropy dollars through the Divergent Grant Program. By empowering our team to lead our giving, we’re able to support meaningful missions and create lasting impact in the communities we serve.
