Leading RIAs Target Trillions in Generational Wealth as Advisor Retirements Intensify Talent Fight

3 articles · Updated · Wealth Management · Jul 31

Summary

  • New research says top RIAs are using broader talent and client-retention strategies to sustain growth as they gain a larger share of the wealth-management market.
  • The report identifies three pressure points driving that push: keeping top advisors engaged, fixing technology gaps that cost firms talent, and building a playbook to win the next generation of heirs.
  • Demographic forces are raising the stakes, with one of the largest wealth transfers in modern history unfolding while advisor retirements are expected to climb over the next decade.
  • For RIAs, the challenge is increasingly linked: firms that modernize operations and attract younger advisors are better positioned to hold inherited assets and capture the next phase of wealth growth.
