Advisors at wirehouse firms most frequently identify as being unlikely or undecided about remaining affiliated with their firm over the next 12 months (24%), followed by hybrid and independent registered investment advisors (RIAs) at 8% and 7%, respectively. Advisors have been attracted to the RIA channels’ potential for better economics, in the form of higher payouts and business ownership, and greater autonomy over how they operate their practices and serve their clients. In fact, the share of advisors who affiliate with a hybrid RIA or an independent RIA firm has increased 9%, with hybrid RIA advisors representing 11.6% of the advisorforce and independent RIA advisors representing 15.3%.
While B/Ds can’t stop advisor movement between channels, they can increase their value proposition by offering an outstanding advisor experience. The aspects of a firm’s platform and resources that advisors most highly value include technology, the level of autonomy afforded advisors to run their practice and serve their clients as they see fit, and the range and quality of financial products and services available to offer clients.Continue to explore this topic and more with our latest research, U.S. Broker/Dealer Marketplace 2023: The Challenging Pursuit of Organic Growth.
