The RIA Space is Changing Faster Than Advisors Realize: An Update
Firm Transitions Podcast With Corey Walen 99 views May 13, 2026 1:39 pm
The RIA landscape is evolving faster than ever and many financial advisors are already behind.
Jeff Nash joins me to break down what’s happening inside the rapidly expanding RIA space:
• Why the broker dealer industry continues consolidating
• The explosion of new RIA platforms and service models
• How private equity and venture capital are reshaping wealth management
• The differences between aggregators, integrators, and platform providers
• Why more wirehouse advisors are exploring independence
• The pros and cons of starting your own RIA
• New transition deal structures advisors should understand
• How technology, AI, and outsourced support are changing advisor economics
Whether you’re at a wirehouse, regional firm, independent broker dealer, or already in the RIA space, this conversation will help you better understand the opportunities and risks emerging across the industry.
I hope this is helpful. If you’re an elite advisor that could use the help of a non-biased transition consultant please reach out, I’d be happy to talk.
