Unbiased, fair and objective guidance
Independent and untethered to a firm compromised by proprietary interests or a lack of transparency, Private Wealth delivers hand-on leadership, program development, and tangible value to each client engagement.
Rooted in actual in-the-trench leadership, we have worked across the nation to launch or re-engineer broker dealers, investment advisory firms, or worked to introduce wealth initiatives into the financial institution channel. We lend the expertise and insight to client-facing wealth management endeavors and build-out open architecture platforms.
Key to our consultancy is delivering value-added results at a reasonable cost.
Market Entry
Understanding the challenges, regulatory obstacles or capital needed for new market entry can present a daunting exercise for many firms. Internally, the gut instincts of execs are often risk-averse instead of risk-adaptive.Whether you’re a community bank CEO seeking to enter the wealth management channel, or an independent wealth management firm looking build an institutional channel, the value of engaging an independent “set of eyes” can lend research, tactics, or formulaic strategy geared to new market entry.
Operational Efficacy
Essential to the fine-tuning of a wealth management initiative or wealth organization lies in the ability to right-size current operations and look to identify opportunities to quantify your objective.Whether the objective is focused on growth or expense, compensation plan, program re-engineering, succession plans or leadership evaluation – we deliver the resources and manpower to drive results.
Expansion & Ownership
During the annual planning process, firms seek to identify new business opportunities or assess current business line efficacy. Other firms may consider potential avenues to grow top line revenue, increase bottom-line margins, or seek paths to internalize current outsourced partnerships.
A common path to market entry often involves analysis of a buy vs. rent strategy. But invariably, firms seek to better understand the inflection point where internalization or ownership makes greater sense.
Acquisition
The ability to evaluate a potential acquisition opportunity can amount to identifying teams, firms, or entities that represent a cultural fit, generate top line revenue and bottom-line profitability across a spectrum of targets.
Equally important, a decision to sell-off a team, business line, division, or enterprise should consider timing, market conditions and other prevailing intangibles. We serve in the role to decipher an in-depth evaluation related to buyers, aggregators or fire sale liquidators.
