Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 24, 2016 -- Probity Advisors, Inc., a wealth management firm based in Dallas, TX, has received the 2016 Fidelity Be Greater Award, which recognizes financial services organizations that have succeeded at becoming future ready, responding to investor and competitor dynamics, and evolving into successful, growing businesses.
The Be Greater Awards were created to honor those firms who push boundaries and demonstrate excellence in critical areas of their business. Probity Advisors, Inc. was selected for its focus on providing integrated portfolio management and planning services that are highly customized to each individual client. The firm’s investments in technology and talent along with its entrepreneurial and collaborative culture were also recognized as key to Probity Advisors, Inc.’s impressive growth.
“To be awarded this distinction is a tremendous honor to our firm,” said Porter L. Ozanne, president of Probity Advisors, Inc. “This award is a reflection of the dedication and commitment of our entire staff, including everyone from our analysts and research team to our traders and individual advisors. It is also a reflection of our commitment to providing excellent service to our clients and their families.”
“Today’s dynamic environment requires firms to focus relentlessly on growth and efficiency to remain competitive,” said Bob Oros, executive vice president and head of the RIA segment, Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions. “This year’s Be Greater winners demonstrated their commitment to excellence across critical areas of their businesses that will help them become future-ready and achieve long-term success.”
Probity Advisors was chosen for the award by an esteemed panel of industry professionals: Karen Barr, Investment Adviser Association; Joel Bruckenstein, Technology Tools for Today; Mindy Diamond, Diamond Consultants; Beverly Flaxington, The Collaborative; Brian Hamburger, MarketCounsel; and Philip Palaveev, The Ensemble Practice.
The award was presented at Fidelity’s Inside Track event in New York on October 18, 2016. This is the second year that Fidelity has issued the Be Greater Award, which honors excellence across five key business areas, including Strategy, Talent, Technology & Operations, Risk & Regulatory, and Client Focus.
As part of the Be Greater Award, Fidelity will make a donation in the amount of $15,000 to the charity of Probity Advisors, Inc.’s choice. Probity Advisors has selected The Assist the Officer Foundation which provides financial assistance to police officers and their families who are facing serious injury or a life-threatening illness, as well as financial assistance to families in the event of the death of an active officer.
Vice President Christopher Sorrow said, “Probity has long been a supporter of law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. We are proud to continue to “Back the Blue,” and Fidelity’s donation of $15,000 will provide much needed help to officers and their families and help provide financial security during times when it is most needed.”
