The wealth management industry is entering a new phase of independence.
With assets projected to grow from roughly $35 trillion to $70 trillion over the next decade, financial advisors face both a major opportunity and a growing challenge: capacity.
In Episode 16 of Thinking Independently, Good Life CEO Conor Delaney joins Nick Lopresti to discuss how forward-thinking advisors are preparing for the next stage of growth in the wealth management industry.
Rather than operating solely as practitioners, many advisors are beginning to think like business owners and CEOs, building firms designed to scale, serve more families, and create long-term enterprise value.
In this episode, Conor and Nick discuss:
• Why the most successful advisors are shifting from practitioner to business owner
• How advisory firms can build capacity as client demand continues to grow
• The difference between running a practice and building a scalable firm
• How recruiting and industry trends are reshaping independence
• Why service demands are consuming more advisor time than ever
They also explore leadership, culture, and the operational challenges advisors face as they grow their firms.
If you're a financial advisor, RIA owner, or wealth management professional, this conversation offers insight into how firms can position themselves for the next phase of independence.
