Think Ahead

Advisor Growth Strategies (AGS) works with financial advisory firms and institutions to build their ideal future for their business. For over a decade, we have partnered with the nation’s fastest-growing and largest registered investment advisor (RIA) firms to excel at every stage of business.

Our broad and deep understanding of the independent advisory and RIA industry offers us a unique edge in leveraging data, anticipating situations and applying strategies to accelerate growth and maximize outcomes.

Specifically, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is changing the way RIAs do business, whether you’re in the deal market or not. The nearly $3 trillion in assets under management (AUM) expected to change hands in the next 10 years is already creating a ripple effect far and wide across the RIA space.

  • Capital providers have discovered that RIAs have driven up valuations over 50 percent over the last three years
  • Transactions have accelerated in record numbers for the last five consecutive years
  • Industry concentration continues with 15 percent of RIAs controlling over 85 percent of industry assets under management

To stay ahead, we must think ahead and take the strategic steps to well-position our firms for the future.
