Summary: One of the most common questions I hear from financial advisors who are on teams is about succession planning. Whether it’s the senior financial advisor (team leader) thinking of slowing down (or retiring), a junior financial advisor asking for a roadmap, or even a sole practitioner thinking of selling their practice—it’s become a serious industry issue.

Summary: I have been in the advisor industry for almost 13 years and I have a solid grip on what I am doing. I have changed employers a few times during that period and I am now the owner of my own small RIA. I love the autonomy and unique approach I offer, but I would also like to make more money. There are many large advisors looking to retire, but they do not have a successor lined up or even know where to look for one. As such, how could I identify those advisors and position myself as a worthy candidate for their succession needs?

Summary: After a couple of years of decelerating revenue growth in the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) industry, it's easy to get excited about the topline results revealed in the 2018 InvestmentNews Study of Pricing & Profitability. Firms in the study reported revved-up median revenue growth of 11.7% in 2017, compared with 5.0% in 2016 and 6.9% in 2015. When you couple such heady growth with profit margins that hover around 25%, it's easy to conclude that the industry's growth engine is running smoothly and firms should stick with whatever they're doing now. The message would seem to be: “If it's not broken, leave it the heck alone.”
