B. B. Graham & Co., Inc., a licensed insurance agency, offers annuity products that are issued by non-affiliated insurance companies. Not all annuity products are available in every state.
 
Before purchasing an annuity there are many important facts you should know: fees, living benefit & death benefit options, sub-account options, surrender charges, death benefits, and payout options to name a few. A B. B. Graham & Co. Financial Consultant can assist you in understanding the potential benefits an annuity has to offer.

Variable Annuities are sold by prospectus only. Before purchasing an annuity, you should carefully consider its investment objectives and all the risks, charges and other expenses associated with the annuity and its investment options. For this and other information, call (714) 628-5200 or e-mail info@bbgraham.com for a free prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing in a variable annuity.

B. B. Graham & Company provides access to Listed and NASDAQ stocks traded on exchanges across the country, as well as OTC equities.   Our company has partnered with RBC Correspondent Services to obtain comprehensive clearing, custody and execution services.   Also, through RBC our financial consultants get authoritative insight and research from Argus, Credit Suisse, RBC Capital Markets Corporation, and The Street.com Ratings to assist our clients in making informed decisions. Contact a Representative today to learn more and obtain a fee schedule.
 
Shares of stock represent partial ownership of individual companies. Risks involved include the financial strength of the corporation, as well as the overall performance of the stock market in general, and investor sentiment towards the companies’ industry or towards that company individually.
 
 
B. B. Graham & Company has assisted clients with options trading since its inception over thirteen years ago; hence our tagline “Know Your Options”™. If you are considering an option strategy we invite you to contact us; a knowledgeable and experienced financial consultant* is ready to assist you with any questions you may have.
 
Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Please review the Options Disclosure Document titled “Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options” found at: http://www.optionsclearing.com/publications/risks/riskchap1.jsp prior to buying or selling an option.
 
*Supporting documentation regarding the expertise of sales persons will be supplied upon request.
 
Many financial services firms offer only a few proprietary CDs. Our fixed income platform through RBC Correspondent Services provides us access to an entire marketplace of FDIC insured CDs. Consult with one of our representatives today to learn current rates being offered by a multitude of different institutions.
 
Certificates of Deposit are offered by FDIC-insured institutions. Unlike other investments, such as mutual funds, certificates of deposits offer a fixed rate of return and are FDIC-insured. There may be costs associated with early redemption and possible market value adjustment. To learn more about FDIC coverage, please visit the FDIC website https://www.fdic.gov/edie/index.html.
 
 
 
For some the volatility of the stock market may be too much to handle comfortably. A money market fund offers a more stable, liquid alternative to many investments. Contact a Representative today to obtain current rates.
 
An investment in a Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
 
 
 
Through its relationship with RBC Correspondent Services, B. B. Graham & Co. Financial Consultants have full coverage of the fixed-income world with timely information and research. Contact a Representative today to learn more about fixed income strategies with U.S. Treasury, Agency, Municipal, and Corporate Securities.
 
Fixed income investments are subject to various risks including changes in interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption / (call risk), corporate events, tax ramifications, inflation risk, and other factors. Bonds have an inverse relationship with interest rates; as interest rates rise, bond prices will fall.

would like to share his thoughts...
 
Welcome to B. B. Graham & Company's new website. I felt it was necessary to scrap the old site and build a new one to better reflect the changes at our Firm. Below is a brief summary of some recent major changes within BBGC.

  • Over the last few years B. B. Graham & Co. has experienced unprecedented growth. In 2007 we added offices in Massachusetts, Illinois, and Florida. In 2008 we expanded into Texas by adding three offices. Thus far in 2009 we welcome our fourth office in Texas located in Houston, and our sixth office in California located in Whittier.

  • As our presence in the field increased our back office did too: Donna Crowley joined the Firm in 2007 and brought with her a wealth of operations experience; Mark Ruggles joined our Compliance Department in 2008 and has kept our Representatives ahead of the ever-changing regulatory curve.

  • This year B. B. Graham & Co. will engage in two new business lines we are quite excited about.

  • We recently began an advertising campaign at the Honda Center here in Orange, CA in support of our Anaheim Ducks during the playoffs. Let's Go Ducks!
  • I cannot predict the future, but I believe these changes mark just the beginning of a period of great opportunities for the Firm. Of course the company will not change just for the sake of changing, and I will continue to refrain from setting arbitrary or limiting goals such as growing revenues at a fixed rate every year. However, we will continue to seek and hire talented and experienced employees, expand into more markets with productive Independent Contractors, and improve our position among competitors. Please explore the new site, contact us with any questions, and check back from time-to-time as I will be updating this page frequently.

    Close BoxBusiness Continuity Plan
     
    B.B. Graham & Co. has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

    Contacting Us - If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 714-628-5200 or info@bbgraham.com, you should call our alternative number 626-451-0840.

    Our Business Continuity Plan - We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm's books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.

    Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

    Our clearing firm, RBC Dain Correspondent Services, backs up our important records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, we have been advised by our clearing firm that its objective is to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within the same business day. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period.

    Varying Disruptions - Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 24 hours. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within 72 hours. In either situation, we plan to continue in business, transfer operations to our clearing firm if necessary, and notify you through our customer emergency number, (626) 451-0840 how to contact us. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer’s prompt access to their funds and securities.

    For more information - If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can
    contact us at (714) 628-5200
