Sigma Financial Corporation
As a registered representative of Sigma Financial Corporation, Luke is able to offer clients some of the best names and one of the largest product-service platforms in the financial industry. Sigma uses an "open architecture" platform which provides clients with complete freedom to choose the cost structure and investment path that is right for them.
