18.  Segment Information

The Company has two operating segments. The independent brokerage and advisory services segment includes the broker-dealer and investment advisory services provided by Investacorp, Securities America and Triad to their independent contractor financial advisors and Premier Trust which includes the wealth management services. The Ladenburg segment includes the investment banking, sales and trading and asset management services and investment activities conducted by Ladenburg and LTAM. During 2011, the Premier Trust segment was reclassified into the independent brokerage and advisory services segment due to the complementary nature of Premier Trust’s operations to those of the Company’s independent broker-dealer subsidiaries.
