Second, SPF is culturally aligned with our ideals, putting customers and relationships first."

SPF Chief Executive Officer Valorie Seyfert is equally optimistic about the new relationship. She says, "We understand the extensive research undertaken when selecting a new broker dealer and we are proud to have been chosen. NOVA executives were looking for specific strengths, and winning their business is a testament to our technology solutions and focus on financial institutions. We are excited to add another strong, community-based organization to our client roster, and we look forward to helping NOVA clients reach their investment goals."
