With the wealth transfer that's underway, serving NextGen clients and bringing in newer advisor talent may be key to achieving sustainable growth. But the way younger clients and advisors think about investing isn’t necessarily in line with how the industry has traditionally operated.

To meet the expectations of NextGen investors – and to make their firms appealing for the next generation of advisors – RIAs may need to move beyond a “business as usual” approach to talent management, according to Alan Moore, Co-Founder of the XY Planning Network.

In this episode of the Synergize podcast, Moore joins hosts Bill Coppel, Chief Client Growth Officer at TradePMR, and Ryan Neal, Senior Editor at TradePMR, to explore how RIAs may want to think about investing in next generation talent.

Listen as they explore:

● Ways to potentially attract, retain, and leverage an investment in newer talent

● How “fee-for-service” models can help build a bridge to the next generation

● What advisors should know about succession planning given today’s realities

EP25: Alan Moore: Building a Talent Pipeline to Help Win NextGen Clients

While competition, technology, and the marketplace have changed over the years, some core elements of business growth ─ like telling your story ─ never seem to go out of style.

But even successful advisors still “wing it” when articulating their value rather than mastering the ability to tell their story effectively, according to Leo Pusateri, President and Owner of Pusateri Consulting.

In this episode of the Synergize podcast, Pusateri joins hosts Bill Coppel, Chief Client Growth Officer at TradePMR, and Ryan Neal, Senior Editor at TradePMR, to explore how RIAs can define, refine, and execute their value as they strive to achieve sustainable business growth.

Listen as they explore:  

Seven time-tested questions that can help advisors discover, articulate, and capitalize on their unique value

How a deliberate approach to articulating value may yield better results than “winging” it

Why advisors may want to call a timeout to learn what clients really think about the value they’re providing

Ep. 24: Leo Pusateri: Delivering “Real” Value to Help Power Business Growth

Technology has allowed everyday people to invest on their own, but a strictly DIY approach may only get them so far. A Cerulli study highlighting the desire for human advice found that more than half of self-directed investors value the ability to speak with a person about their account, yet only 39% of these investors have tapped into this opportunity.1

A critical step in addressing this gap is identifying what approach makes sense for an individual at a particular point in their life, according to Steve Quirk, Chief Brokerage Officer at Robinhood Markets, Inc., a tech-forward platform for self-directed investors and TradePMR’s new parent company.

In this episode of the Synergizepodcast, Quirk joins hosts Bill Coppel, Chief Client Growth Officer at TradePMR, and Ryan Neal, Senior Editor at TradePMR, to explore the emerging trend of self-directed investors seeking advice and how RIAs may want to tap into this new market.

Listen as they explore:

·What the traditional industry may be getting wrong about self-directed investors and how they want to be served

Parallels they see between the evolution of the RIA business and Robinhood’s focus on providing greater access to investing

·What Robinhood and TradePMR coming together may offer the RIAs TradePMR serves

Ep. 19: Carolyn Armitage: Competing for Talent in a Shrinking Advisor Pool

While not new, the conversation about the need for growth beyond what the market creates seems to be gaining more and more attention based on recent headlines in the wealth management trade pubs. That may be because the financial services industry seems to be on the threshold of what could be the most significant wealth transfer in generations.1 And what’s running in parallel could be considered an emerging crisis: a shrinking advisor population ─ largely due to the expectation that 37% of advisors are expected to retire by 2032 ─ combined with 1 in 4 of those advisors lacking a defined succession plan.2 In this episode, Derek Bruton, Senior Managing Director of the Gladstone Group Inc. joins hosts Bill Coppel, Chief Client Growth Officer at TradePMR, and Ryan Neal, Senior Editor at TradePMR, to share his perspective on the potential opportunity this could present for financial advisors.

Ep. 17: Tim Whitney: A CEO’s Take on Building a Firm for the Future

Financial advisors haven’t traditionally addressed the topic of caregiving with clients, and when they do the discussion tends to focus on the cost of care. But with today’s longer lifespans, taking a more comprehensive approach to helping clients navigate the implications of caregiving may help advisors differentiate and grow their businesses. In this episode, Sherri Snelling ─ a gerontologist and Founder & CEO of Caregiving Club ─ joins hosts Bill Coppel, Chief Client Growth Officer at TradePMR, and Ryan Neal, Senior Editor at TradePMR, to dive into this topic.
