Posted by Mindy Diamond

Last week we shared part 1 of our 2 part series of posts from 2016 to date. Our hope is that they just get you thinking about your future and how best to serve your clients.

Considering Independence

The Rise of the RIA
Today’s changing regulatory environment has placed an enormous burden on advisors in the IBD space. For those looking to launch an RIA, there are 3 main components to the move.

Being independent doesn’t mean going it alone. Support and resources are available to advisors in the independent space.

What happens to advisors who have outgrown the IBD space and long for true independence? Consider this advisor looking to solve for what he is currently lacking.

Thinking about Change

Exploring Options in the Mid-Market Institutional Advisory Space
Although institutional advisors make up a small segment of the advisor population, they are typically very successful and coveted by the industry.  What do institutional advisors need to know in order to best serve their clients’ needs and their own business goals?

Living Your Best Business Life

When Just Short of Perfect is Actually Better Enough
Although perfection is nearly impossible, it is possible to find something “close to perfect”. Here are 3 things that often happen to advisors who recognize the imperfections at their current firm could be impacting their ability to serve clients best.

What can a recruiter do for me?
I’m asked this question on an almost daily basis. The answer might actually surprise you.

“In a perfect world, I would…”
Although there is no such thing as a “perfect world”, there are enough options out there that an advisor can find a world that is “perfect enough”.

P.S. Each of these and more can be found under the “Perspectives” tab at the top of the page.
