"By reaching out to advisors on a quarterly basis, we can more effectively identify, analyze and report the trends affecting the wealth management industry so that advisors can benchmark their firm's performance," said Kathleen McBride, Wealth Editor-in-Chief of AdvisorOne.com. "These regular insights into industry performance are especially useful during the challenging economic times faced by advisors and their clients over the last two years."
Key findings from the Q2 Top Wealth Managers Quarterly Pulse Survey include:
- Revenues of the typical firms are tracking at a 12.6% growth rate for 2010, in spite of a difficult second quarter for revenue and assets.
- Growth expectations are cautious, but firms are planning to hire new advisors and are looking forward to 2011.
- Business development has been slow, with medium sized firms growing fastest.
- There is a sweet spot among average clients that may surprise some advisors.
The findings include analysis and reports from Philip Palaveev, president of Fusion Advisor Network and former Moss Adams principal. For the complete series of articles and Top 50 Rankings visit the Top Wealth Managers area of AdvisorOne.com at: http://www.advisorone.com/top-wealth-managers
