When it comes to going independent, the “why” is clear: nine out of ten breakaway advisors cited higher autonomy, higher payouts, and the ability to build enterprise value as their top factors in making their move.*

But beyond the “why” of independence, there are many questions to consider:

  • What does independence actually look like?
  • Which costly mistakes do you need to avoid when making the transition?
  • Which affiliation model is the best fit for you?
  • Which entrepreneurial skills will you need to develop to succeed?
  • Can outsourcing help you create more time to serve your clients?

Are you trading your time for income or building a legacy? We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you navigate your journey as an investment advisor, so you can weigh your options and make an informed decision.
