BCG Securities

What BCG Securities does

BCG Securities, Inc. is a privately held, FINRA-registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser founded in 1968 and headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The firm operates as a dual-capacity RIA and broker-dealer, serving individuals and families, small businesses, and employer-sponsored retirement plan sponsors across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California, with clients described as nationwide. Its core offerings include wealth management, retirement planning (including IRAs and 401(k) plan services), college planning, insurance, estate planning, and investment management (equities, mutual funds, ETFs, fixed income, managed accounts). A Multiple Employer Plan partnership with the Employers Association of New Jersey, launched in 2016, extends the firm's retirement plan reach, and a 2024 sub-brand — BCG Wealth Management — now covers the Pennsylvania/New Jersey advisor team while securities and brokerage services remain under BCG Securities, Inc.

The firm generates revenue through three streams: fee-based investment advisory (recurring AUM or flat planning fees), commission-based broker-dealer transactions, and professional services for retirement plan design and administration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through direct advisor engagement, with select lead-generation offers such as complimentary 401(k) benchmarking and life insurance quotes. Clearing, custody, and the NetXInvestor client portal are outsourced to Pershing LLC, a Bank of New York Mellon subsidiary, and marketing/content is delivered via an FMG Suite platform. No proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, patents, or disclosed revenue figures are evident.

BCG Securities is independently owned with no parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investors indicated in the available sources. The team comprises 101-250 employees holding credentials including CFP, CPA, JD, actuary, ChFC, CRPS, and MBA designations, distributed across offices in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California. Ownership and governance beyond the independent operating entity are not publicly disclosed.
