Independence for Financial Advisors

Industry Update on Goldman Sachs: What could a new RIA custodian mean for advisors and the industry?

Posted by Mindy Diamond

A conversation with Louis Diamond

Many financial advisors who manage money for ultra-high net worth clients inquire about Goldman Sachs—and whether they are in the game of competitive recruiting.

That answer has long been a hard “no.”

But there have been reports of some significant changes brewing at the firm—changes that seem to indicate that Goldman is going all-in on the RIA custody business.

And that could be a good sign for those looking to leverage a vaunted brand such as Goldman Sachs.

While details are still unfolding, Louis Diamond joins the show to weigh in on what this could mean for advisors and the industry at-large, including:

  • Why would Goldman be heading in this direction now?
  • What might the upsides – and downsides – be for advisors considering this model?
  • Would we expect current Goldman Private Wealth Advisors to be able to make the shift?
  • Would a model like this be directed towards advisors serving ultra-affluent clients, or would it be for advisors and clients of all sizes?
  • And is there any indication that firms like Morgan Stanley, UBS and Merrill will follow Goldman’s lead?

While there is still information to come and a hard launch yet to be announced, it’s an exciting development poised to rock the landscape—further validating the RIA space and creating competition, which is good for advisors, clients and the industry as a whole.

Listen in to learn more about what could be one of the most significant evolutions of the landscape in the coming months.

    WHAT OUR LISTENERS ARE SAYING…

    • I would say one of the best things I ever did was listen to your podcast. I listened to it a thousand times. There are so many aspects to explore. You’re driving blind until you actually engage a professional.

      Michael Henley
      Founder & CEO, Brandywine Oak Private Wealth
    • Fantastic Podcast and a must-listen for anyone considering Independence!

      Robert Walter
      President, Sanctuary Wealth
    • This is outstanding. Every team considering independence should listen.

      Chris Cooke
      Managing Partner, Cooke Financial Group
    • Every advisor at a brokerage firm should listen to this podcast. I’m convinced that most advisors don’t realize their real value. Do your research. You deserve your true value and going out on your terms. It’s your life’s work. Even if you don’t transition to independence, know your value and options in order to make an educated decision.

      Senior Wealth Advisor, Avidian Wealth Solutions
