RIA Mergers and Acquisitions Fueling Growth
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
Mergers and acquisitions among investment advisers show steady growth for that segment in the financial services industry.
Buying parties predominantly are other RIAs and strategic acquiring firms, but it’s a seller’s market. Further, the independent model is more attractive to advisors and acquirers, also helping to leverage selling power. Firms’ selling power allows for strategic decision making and selectivity.
Not surprisingly, the fastest growing firms have reported significantly more growth as a result of well-strategized mergers and acquisitions. And as a generation of aging advisors begin to retire, the industry is ripe for both internal and private party sales. With opportunities continuing to present themselves, the independent investment advisory industry is primed for growth and maturation.
