As part of our mission to help advisors succeed, we partnered with Institutional Investor to conduct a research study to explore RIAs’ succession planning practices and concerns. 162 RIAs were surveyed in conjunction with a series of interviews with RIAs and valuation consultants to gather additional insight into the survey findings. The results of our survey indicate that the RIA industry looks to be at a major inflection point. A significant number of RIA firms are contemplating a change in ownership over the next five years.
However, the survey also finds that many firms are woefully underprepared when it comes to planning for the transfer of stewardship of their firms.
