U.S. Registered Investment Advisors: Scale, Succession, and Growth
March 5, 2025
The registered investment advisor (RIA) space continues to evolve. Not only are headcount and assets growing, up 6% and 17% respectively, but distribution dynamics are changing with the expansion of RIA consolidators now controlling $1.5 trillion in AUM. In 2023, the number of advisors affiliated with these firms spiked to 14% as asset marketshare reached 18%.
Join Cerulli’s Stephen Caruso on Wednesday, March 5, at 11:00 am ET for Cerulli’s lens into the trends driving channel growth and transformation. During this 60-minute discussion, he will cover the most important factors driving change, including succession planning and technology, as well as product and platform preferences and what they mean for asset managers and other third-party providers.
