Independent Advisors: Think all Broker Dealers are the same?

Advisor Moves 3 Stages Diamond Consultants

Think again. The truth is, not all Broker Dealers are created equal.

Not that long ago it may have been enough for an independent broker dealer to simply provide basic clearing and custody and perform mandatory regulatory oversight. Yet, as the landscape has evolved, so have advisors and their clients—and they are entitled to expect so much more.

Many advisors assume that all broker dealers are created equal—a notion that can’t be farther from the truth. Others are overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices, left wondering where to even start.

The questions remain:

“What should I look for when deciding whether to stay with my current broker dealer or consider a move to another?”

“Does the IBD space still offer me the best support? Should I explore the RIA hybrid space?”

“How – and where – do I start the due diligence process?”

These are questions we get asked quite often. So we’ve gathered some of our best resources to help start you on your way to answering some of your most important questions.
