Statistics show that advisors operating a wealth management business model tend to generate significantly higher revenues than other business models. For example:

  • 58% of wealth management practices have assets under management greater than $100 million compared to only 22% of financial planning practices and 18% of investment broker practices. Source: Cerulli
  • Wealth managers generate more than twice the commission revenue and five times the fees of the average planner/asset manager. Source: Cerulli

Wealth management is more than learning new investment and planning solutions; it means learning new client relationship behaviors and developing an expertise at coordinating professional specialists.
