BOSTON, July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A 17-member advisor team is affiliating with Signator Investors, Inc., bringing $1.1Billion in assets under management. The group, formerly Royal Securities Company of Grandville, MI, will remain in its current location and operate as Royal Advisors, joining one of Signator's independent firms, VantagePointe Financial Group LLC, of Grand Rapids, MI.

Chris Maryanopolis, President of Signator, made the following comment about this move, "This move increases Signator's presence in the region, while providing added scale to Royal Advisors and VantagePointe.  In Signator's model, firms and advisors can maintain their independence, while relying on us as the broker-dealer for access to products, due diligence, technology, and regulatory guidance. This allows firms and advisors the ability to focus on serving their clients and growing their businesses, which is a win-win for everyone."

Signator, a premier independent broker-dealer with a national network of independent firms across the U.S., offers a comprehensive range of sound financial information and guidance from leading carriers as well as tools and resources which help advisors grow professionally.

With the addition of Royal Advisors, VantagePointe, a regional financial services firm led by President David R. Pasciak, CLU, ChFC, CRPC, will have 28 offices in eight states with 108 financial professional associates providing financial services to individuals, families and businesses.

"We welcome our new colleagues.  We are very pleased to be growing VantagePointe while serving clients in new locations," said Pasciak. "The Royal group, led by one of Royal's founding leaders, Marvin Andringa, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. Both Firms share a passion for superior client service, which makes Royal a perfect fit and a great asset to bring into the VantagePointe family."

"By affiliating with Signator and VantagePointe, our team at Royal Advisors will have even more resources, tools, and support to help clients achieve their financial goals," said Andringa. "Both Signator and VantagePointe share our client-centric view.  They are interested in our personal and business growth for the benefit of our clients. It's really a great fit."
