KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Securities Service Network, Inc. (SSN) has tied for first in overall experience in REP. magazine's third annual IBD Report Card Survey. The honor is based on the results of the annual poll conducted by the magazine in December of 2012. The advisors are asked to rank their independent broker dealer on various service aspects and department efficiencies.

"We are humbled by the honor and thank our advisors for voting for SSN," said Wade Wilkinson, SSN President and CEO.  "Advisor satisfaction is a key metric and we see this vote of confidence as affirmation of the service and support we provide to our independent advisors every day."

One voter commented, "They fulfill all of my 'must-have' objectives, and truly allow me to act as an independent business-person. They do not maintain a high cost structure in order to offer services of no interest to me."

Advisors were asked to rank their BD based on Sales and Service Support (marketing, practice management, transition, and account services), Professional development (CE opportunities, conference & events, coaching, and sales support), Technology, Product Offerings, Compensation and Benefits, Compliance, and Management.
