RIA Talent Advantage®
Program overview
Registered Independent Advisory firms are experiencing a strong growth trajectory, making the need to scale and grow efficiently more important than ever. Recruiting and retaining the right talent will help power that growth.
We're also seeing a change in investor demographics, with women, younger people, and culturally and ethnically diverse investors controlling more assets. As a result, it's important to hire individuals who reflect the clients you want to serve.
But competition for high-performing talent is tight—and you may have many demands on your time. RIA Talent Advantage® is a comprehensive offering to help you enhance your recruiting, hiring, talent development, and retention strategies.
Changing investor demographics
Private wealth in the U.S. is expected to grow to $22T by 2020, and 50% of it will be in the hands of women.1
Minorities comprised 37.8% of the U.S. population in 2014.2
