Since the start of the current bull market, many advisors have chosen the route of representative as portfolio manager (Rep as PM) for every client segment of their book. The initial decision is often cost related. But does it make sense to continue to dedicate time and effort to ALL accounts? Or, does it pay to outsource accounts below a certain threshold? The following case study shows analysis performed by the Wealth Consulting Team.

With a hack attack occurring every 39 seconds on average, we at Kestra Financial are always doing whatever we can to protect the privacy of your firm and the privacy of your clients. However, your own due diligence is still a vital part of your overall protection.

Choosing the wrong broker-dealer is a nightmare beyond reckoning.

A broker-dealer isn’t just somewhere to hang your licenses or clear your trades. And the best deal isn’t necessarily the one that is the most financially lucrative on paper on day one. It’s about finding an ecosystem that allows you to grow your practice to its full potential.

This webinar will be full of concrete examples of broker-dealer transitions that did and did not work out. From these real-life examples, advisors will learn how to judge a broker-dealer firm based upon the following:

• Compliance – Too lax imposes the risk of being subject to litigation or suffering the risk of being associated with a firm who has a bad reputation. But on the other side, too strict and growth can become compromised. How do you find the point of “middle ground” that works for you?
• Marketing –They all say they want to support your growth, but do they include the client acquisition blueprint to actually help you grow?
• Leadership – You’ve got to know that the long term vision for the company lines up with your own. As the spiel goes, at the end of the day it all comes down to people. What do you look for in the people who are running the company? What should be a red flag to you?
• Technology - Does the company have relationships with the right vendors? Do they have enough leverage with these vendors to offer a substantial benefit to you as the advisor? Or is it a “nothing special” case in which they are just checking the box.
• Size. There is a difference between big and small broker-dealer firms.
