We welcome the opportunity to respond to any questions or concerns you may have about First Investors.

First, you should know that First Investors has been in business since 1930. We have a long tradition of serving the needs of our clients, many of whom are of average economic means — a market segment overlooked by most financial services firms.

Above all, our company remains dedicated to the highest levels of ethical conduct. We value our good relationships with our customers and our Registered Representatives, and we take compliance very seriously.

It has been an ongoing disappointment for us to see First Investors and other reputable companies described on the Internet as scams, consumer rip-offs, or otherwise characterized as disreputable.

Unfortunately, the Internet has made it easy for people to remain anonymous while posting unfounded claims and disparaging comments. Additionally, search engine technology can sometimes direct the public to outdated and incorrect information, or to totally unrelated stories and people.

Although we cannot change the shortcomings of social media, we are prepared to explain the facts and truth concerning who we are, what we believe in, ways in which we help our clients, and why you might want to build a career here. (Click here for first-hand accounts from people who have.)

Toward that end, if you are a current or prospective First Investors client, or you are considering a career with us, and you have questions regarding our business, our reputation or our underlying values, I invite you to contact me by phone. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally to set the record straight.
