2021 Deals Report: Another Record-Breaking Year for Advisors

2021 Transition Highlights: Moves in the News Facilitated by Diamond Consultants

2021 Deals Report: Another Record-Breaking Year for Advisors

Posted by Mindy Diamond

2021 represented an extraordinary year of success in the wealth management industry.

While advisors demonstrated creativity in how they increased revenue, served clients and managed their businesses, increased competition for top talent made it a “seller’s market” for those seeking new partners and models.

It set in motion a trend of movement that once again reached historic levels.

We’re proud to have helped so many advisors and teams find their best business lives and look forward to a new year destined to be as active as the one that preceded it.

Below is just a sampling of publically announced transitions completed in 2021. For more information, please contact us.
