RIAs

The financial services industry needs a major makeover, Sallie Krawcheck said at an industry conference Friday.

Independent broker-dealers and RIAs have the edge over wirehouses when it comes to adding mutual fund assets under management, according to Access Data and Strategic Insight.

LPL Financial added Ingham Retirement Group to its broker-dealer and RIA custodial platforms.

The number of deals for RIA firms jumped in the first quarter, according to new research from Schwab Advisor Services. But transaction value was lower than at any point in the last year.

Trust Company of America is expanding its Advisor Pathways program by partnering with RIA in a Box.

Registered investment advisor assets continue to ascend rapidly, according to Cerulli Associates.

In 2011, 44% of brokers who left wirehouses landed at independent firms, but every broker has an array of options when it comes to independence.
