Wirehouse advisors are 124% more productive than the average advisor, finds Cerulli. The channel experienced an 18.8% year-over-year increase in the productivity rate of its advisors, which grew from $147 million per advisor at year-end 2018 to $175 million per advisor at year-end 2019.
Yet, as the registered investment advisor (RIA) channel continues to mature and more third-party providers emerge to support RIAs in these areas, Cerulli expects the advantages for wirehouses will diminish over time. Therefore, to remain competitive, wirehouse firms should identify the motivating factors for advisor defections and shore up areas of limited advisor satisfaction.
