As an RIA owner, you have full control to run your business however you want. You're free to do what's best for your clients, while providing them with more personalized service. The support from the right custodian can help you reach your goals.
The freedom to create and run your own business
When you start your own firm, you can see your vision of independence come to life. You'll be able to recruit advisors with existing books of business, and have the flexibility to choose the products, services, and business methods that best suit your clients' needs.
Growth potential
Advisors report an average increase in AUM of 30% after going independent.* Although starting a firm comes with risks and rewards, as you start building equity you can attract and retain new clients—and scale and grow quickly.
Long-term valuation
Registered investment advisors can build equity in their businesses long term, which they may be able to monetize down the road. With the right planning help, you could own a major asset by the time you retire.
