competitors will
Eat or be Eaten
Protect & Grow
The typical independent RIA does not prioritize nor target 401(k) and pension assets. However, there are now massive RIA’s that specialize in BOTH private assets AND qualified plans. In fact, the Merger & Acquisition Activity in the RIA space for combined practices is only getting started. These firms can use their 401(k) practice to build a non-threatening relationship with your entrepreneurial private wealth client. Once the door is open, will you maintain control over the relationship? How will you defend against this?
