Integrated Partners, a Waltham, Mass.-based hybrid registered investment advisor with $13 billion in assets, may soon join the growing list of RIA acquirers. Rob Sandrew, Integrated’s Chief Growth Officer, recently said the firm expects to expand into the RIA M&A space for the first time since its founding in 1996.

Integrated has grown significantly over the last several years, increasing its assets from about $8 billion in 2019 to $13 billion today. Sandrew said the firm has been seeing larger teams interested in its model, with the average group joining having over $200 million in assets.

Louis Diamond, president of Diamond Consultants, a financial advisor recruiting firm, said there’s a need in the RIA market for that type of a revenue-share model.

There’s a ton of roll-ups and aggregators who will buy you, pay you out, but then you’re kind of giving up your name and control.”
