Independence for Financial Advisors

Industry Update on M&A: Meet the Investors—Why It’s Important for All Advisors to Know Who They Are

Posted by Mindy Diamond

A conversation with Special Guest Louis Diamond

Whether you’re a wirehouse advisor or already independent, the inevitable challenges you will face at some point in your career are the same: Accelerating growth, creating scale and monetizing your life’s work.

For advisors who may be thinking about independence, how to access transition capital and de-risk your move may be your primary considerations.

And even the most captive of financial advisors recognize that they are building businesses with real enterprise value—and as such, the decision around how and when to monetize is worthy of serious consideration.

The good news for advisors looking to monetize is that there’s no shortage of investors.

Yet that leaves plenty of questions for those looking to “sell” all or some portion of their business.

Louis Diamond joins the show to answer those questions we’re most frequently asked, including:

Louis Diamond

  • Who are the investors in the space?
  • How are deals structured?
  • Why would an advisor choose to sell all or a minority portion of his business?
  • How much control does an advisor have to give up?
  • What’s the downside of selling to an investor?
  • Why has the minority investor trend accelerated?
  • Why is this subject relevant to an advisor at a traditional brokerage firm?

As Peter Mallouk, the president and CEO of the $55B+ firm Creative Planning, shares on an upcoming show, “With valuations at an all-time high, it’s a good time to consider your options.” And now is the time to get educated on a world of choice unlike ever before.

    • A fantastic bundle of wisdom from one of the very best Curators of all things Wealth Management.

      Jim Dickson
      Founder - Sanctuary Wealth
    • I love the fact that you are talking a diverse group of people in our industry and educating us all. We are all doing our own thing, so it’s helpful listening to other interviews and hearing about different approaches to the business.

      Brock Moseley
      Founder, Miracle Mile Advisors
    • I didn’t realize what I could do until I heard what other advisors were doing. Then week after week, it was like the gaps were filled in. Without it, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to go independent. Even after transitioning, I still can’t wait for Thursday mornings to hear the latest interview.

      Jerry Davidse
      CEO, Presilium Private Wealth
    • Best new resource I have come across in a long while.

      Daniel Gude
      Senior VP at LPL Financial
    • 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

    • 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
