Independence for Financial Advisors

Industry Update: Why Rockefeller, First Republic and Other Boutique Firms Are Attracting So Many Top Advisors

Posted by Mindy Diamond

In the third episode of our 3-part series on the landscape of the wealth management industry, we explore boutique firms—a version of independence that has become very popular, especially amongst top-of-the-food chain advisors.

No doubt, the term “boutique firms” may conjure thoughts of the past legends—that is, Lehman Brothers, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Bear Stearns. However, today’s boutique firms are a “new and improved” version—an independent-like model where advisors have the control and freedom that come with independence but work under a W-2 construct.

And while on the surface, for many it’s a model that sounds attractive—yet it’s what’s under the hood at that is most attractive to top teams.

In this episode, Mindy explores the boutique model, focusing on the top 2 firms in particular – Rockefeller Capital Management and First Republic Wealth Management – to identify:

  • Why these firms are so attractive to cream-of-the-crop advisors and teams.
  • What deals look like at these firms.
  • What qualifications these firms look for in an advisor.
  • How the leadership at these firms has evolved the model and is driving greater interest from advisors.
  • How technology, platform and support compare to other models.
  • What other unique features each firm offers.

So listen in to learn about a model that will continue to be a popular destination for advisors—because it checks off all of the boxes of what many of these folks are looking for.

Ultimately, it’s an exciting time to be an advisor—with more options, and a greater likelihood that most any advisor at any level can find their own version of utopia.

    WHAT OUR LISTENERS ARE SAYING…

    • Your podcast helped me a ton during my due diligence. There is no replacement for hearing from others who were successful leaving the wires. You are doing great things for the industry.

      Rory O’Hara
      Founder, Senior Managing Partner – Ausperity Private Wealth
    • 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
      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
