The private equity industry has been fueling rapid consolidation across RIAs. This has brought service expansion, multiple channels of growth, succession solutions and other advantages of scale. Formidable competition now exists for firms with fewer resources that want to remain independent.
In order to thrive in this new industry landscape, firms will need to consider partnering with other independent RIAs to offer these expanded services such as inhouse tax and estate planning, trust services and life coaching programs. Additional advantages of aligning will be more departmental resources (operations, investments, compliance, marketing and technology), expanded career advancement and training to attract and retain young talent, and succession for founders when they are ready.
Clients will be expecting more robust services and investment offerings that include Alternative Investments, ESG screens and Impact Investments along with life-centered planning expertise to support them through their major life transitions. Partnered firms that remain independent will be uniquely positioned to provide the best for their teams and clients in the decade ahead.
