History
Founder and Chairman Ted Charles entered the field of financial services as a life insurance agent with National Life of Vermont. After leading the company in sales, he left to become the Managing Director of Eastern Capital Securities, an international investment-banking firm based in Boston and London. Ted was responsible for directing the fixed-income and insurance divisions. He also spent several years with Life USA prior to founding Investors Capital.
Ted felt compelled to start his own independent broker dealer because he wanted to give advisors an opportunity to operate in a truly independent environment, free from product bias. In his own career selling insurance, Ted had approached management with the idea of the fee-based advisory practice, but this concept was rejected.
So, he decided to find a better way. He did so in creating Investors Capital Corporation.
He brought Tim Murphy on board, and the rest is history. Together, they created a premier independent broker/dealer that is one of the most innovative and respected firms in the industry.
