A tried and true rule of thumb has been that clients tend to contact their advisors more often in times of uncertainty. Rising rates, market volatility, geopolitical unrest, and lifting of Covid restrictions have meant advisors’ schedules are likely more filled up than in recent memory. For many advisors eyeing 2022 as the year they want to transition, recent events beyond their control may have actually made it harder to find the time to start or continue their transition.
Solution:
On our blog we’ve made the case for why leveraging the knowledge and resources of a transition consultant like 3xEquity makes sense, we think there are even more reasons to now – given how tight your schedule might have gotten.
Market Volatility
First off, one of the reasons clients may be calling more often is because the market has been significantly less stable in the past few weeks compared to the past few months. Clients once content to watch their portfolios grow and grow are now gripping tighter to each account statement. For so many advisors this is where we shine, but it means any free time that could be put towards researching a move is likely getting eaten up. Here’s where 3xEquity can step in and handle your transition for you, from securing multiple offers to keeping you on track with meetings and VIP visits.
Best Fit/Biggest Package
Even if you had time to reach out to a potential BD to start the process you will probably be limited in the scope of research and connections you can make. Engaging with each BD can take hours, and even then you may not have gathered enough information to make a decision that puts you in the best position to succeed – there may still be too many unknown unknowns.
Here too 3xEquity can step in and lift part of the burden. Each year we assist hundreds of advisors in their transition journey and vet each BD (in fact, we have relationships with over 200 of them). Plus, we see offers all the time, so we know what each BD is offering at any moment and we know when you have maxed out the potential payout from a specific BD (often advisors leave money on the table because they don’t know how far they can push – we help with that).
Whatever your reason, reaching out to a transition consultant like 3xEquity is the smart move for advisors looking to cash in on some of the biggest packages ever from top regional and national broker-dealers.
