Los Angeles-based Transamerica Financial Advisors has completed the absorption of its former affiliate InterSecurities. The result is a new-look TFA with headquarters in InterSecurities' old base of St. Petersburg, Florida., that supports more than 1,700 independent brokers.

 
"We are committed to the independent broker-dealer distribution channel, and by leveraging a combined back-office and the very best attributes of both entities, the consolidated TFA is an even stronger and more competitive financial services firm," says TFA president Seth Miller. 
 
TFA, a subsidiary of the Dutch insurance giant AEGON, is one of the 10 biggest independent broker-dealer firms in the US.
