Summary:

Now On Demand.

The Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) model will be the growth story of the next decade. Its track record of success shows that independence could deliver long-term competitive advantages. And while other channels are expected to shed investment advisor market share in the coming years, the RIA model is projected to gain people power¹ and become one of the biggest winners in asset market share². As this momentum continues to build, now may be perfect time to join the movement.

Our new webcast, Mastering the moment: Why RIAs own the future, highlights five major trends that are propelling RIA firms forward. The webcast features successful independent investment advisors who share how the following trends have benefited their clients, their firms, and themselves:

• Responsiveness to the needs of investors
• Mastering growth through M&A
• Culture-centered innovation
• Leading with technology first
• Thriving in an era of dramatic price changes
