Our Firm

A heritage of client service

Wells Fargo Advisors is one of the nation’s premier financial-services firms. Represented by more than 11,000 financial advisors, it was born out of Wells Fargo & Company’s 2009 acquisition of Wachovia Corporation.¹

Wachovia Securities, LLC, which traced its roots to 1879, grew over the years through mergers with some of the industry’s most respected regional and national firms, including the 2007 acquisition of A.G. Edwards, Inc., by Wachovia Corporation. Throughout their histories, Wells Fargo Advisors’ predecessors were known for service based on trust and knowledge, and for corporate cultures
that put client needs above all else.
