Nice job @BKawal_AGS! RIA M&A is becoming impossible to ignore. You don't have to do a deal, but you should remain aware of what's happening around you. Thank you @JillMalandrino and @TradeTalks!

Great to catch up with @SteveSanduski on his podcast, Between Now and Success, to discuss the changes in the #RIA industry, and what happened 15 years ago that created a boom of new RIA firms, including the start of @AGS_Wire: open.spotify.com/episode/3Bv…

As the big RIAs get bigger, carving out a place for your firm is going to require a new level of clarity around both strategic planning and how you communicate what makes you unique to your team, clients, and prospects. stevesanduski.com/bnas-john-… @AdvisorGrowth

While fluctuating capital markets may have caused buyers to become more selective, the talk of slowing RIA M&A activity has been overexaggerated, and valuations remain high for growing firms, said panelists at RIA Edge!>> spr.ly/6017O7TDJ #RIAEdge
