Over the next decade, the chasm between the at-scale, enterprise registered investment advisors (RIAs) and smaller, lifestyle practices will only widen. Scale—and the advantages it affords—will be the primary determinant of success.
As the pandemic rages on, RIAs must reckon with the new challenges—and opportunities—stemming from the need to address digitization, client acquisition, value differentiation, and succession. The ways in which they address these challenges will separate tomorrow’s top firms from those that flounder. When the disruption ultimately subsides, it will leave a long-term imprint on the industry and RIAs will emerge post-pandemic into a new normal that, in some respects, may be permanently altered.
