Everything about a transition can seem incredibly overwhelming.
From understanding “the why’s” of a move, then conducting due diligence, and on to aligning the right models, and selecting the best firms, it might seem like a fairly linear process.
And for some it can be.
But for others, the layers of minutiae can be daunting.
Essentially, it comes down to the adage, “You don’t know what you don’t know.”
In this episode, Jason Diamond is joined by Mindy, to fill in some of those blanks and share some inside baseball on how to get from here to there, including:
-
The main triggers that drive an advisor to consider a move—and why it’s typically not about frustration.
-
The biggest misconceptions about change—and what most advisors say after they’ve transitioned.
-
Conducting due diligence—and what key pieces of information you need to gather in the process.
-
Assessing culture—and how to really get a sense of what a firm stands for.
-
Transition deals—and how to identify if they are indeed a gift or a trap.
-
The timeline of a move—and how long it really takes from exploration to transition.
-
Communicating with teams and clients—and what you can or can’t do, and when.
Plus, they add context to their advice by drawing from experience gained in the recent $129B Merrill breakaway move.
Essentially, it’s a download of “everything you need to know when considering a move.”
