This week, the spotlight is on our very own Tim Boostrom! Wealth Solutions Report, in partnership with tech provider Docupace, has released the WSR State Of Advisor Technology Survey Report. This survey of 140 wealth management professionals sheds light on client onboarding processes, tech stacks, and the challenges of switching firms. An industry veteran and Director of Business Development at Stifel Independent Advisors, Tim highlights the unique challenges and benefits faced by independent advisors when switching firms. He notes that while the transition to independence offers significant long-term benefits, it requires careful consideration and effort. He offers the following key observations: Effort of Switching Firms: Independent advisors often know the effort involved in switching firms, having made the move to independence after gaining experience and success. The Allure of Independence: Wirehouse advisors may overlook the effort of switching due to the allure of business ownership. Reasons for Moving: Independent-to-independent moves are usually driven by the desire to upgrade service, support, culture, or platform. Check out the full report for more insights and expert opinions from industry leaders like Strategic Blueprint, LLC and Cambridge Investment Research, Inc.

Exciting news! We are thrilled to share the latest article in InvestmentNews, “Home is where the wealth is,” featuring insights from our very own Adam Paffenroth, CFP®, ChFC® of Cornerstone Private Wealth Planning on the impact of home value on financial planning. Adam, who supports a holistic approach to family wealth management, says home value should factor into planning. “If a home’s value is rising for example, it may be appropriate to review certain strategies like refinancing to take advantage of increased equity or leveraging a property’s value for new investments or retirement planning,” Adam says. For more insights from our colleagues across the industry, be sure to check out the report by Gregg Greenberg! #HomePrices #WealthManagement #StifelIndependentAdvisors #Insight

Mark Stofan's latest article in InvestmentNews, “The Allure Of Independence Is Real But Look Before You Leap,” is a must-read for financial advisors considering the leap to independence. President of Stofan Agazzi Investments here at SIA, Mark skillfully explains the balance between autonomy and collaboration critical to successful independence. The importance of having a trusted broker-dealer by your side and a home office who knows you on a first-name basis cannot be overemphasized, according to Mark. His insights on tailoring investment choices and setting your own schedule as an advisor should also resonate deeply with professionals considering their options. Kudos to Mark for shedding light on the true essence of independence done right in our industry! #FinancialAdvisors #Independence #InvestmentNews #MarkStofan #Service

This month, as InvestmentNews explores the future of financial advisors, our very own E. Todd Rebich of Rebich Investments weighs in on this timely topic. In his remarks to the publication, Todd challenges the hype around NextGen advisors, and says building relationships remains as relevant as ever, regardless of technological advancements. “I think the ideal NextGen advisor looks like the last generation of advisors. The things that were successful in the last generation are the same things that are going to be successful with the next generation. For the last 20 years, the industry has been acting like the world is changing, but at the core, building relationships stays the same.” Building connections between senior leadership at firms and younger advisors is key. Training involves many moving parts, and Todd focuses on shadowing mentors, role-playing real-life scenarios of an advisor, and technical education. “We get them at their best after about two years, but for the better part of the first year they’re listening in on veteran advisors,” he says. For more check out the terrific article by Gregg Greenberg. #NextGenAdvisors #FinancialFuture #WealthManagement #InvestmentNews

Congratulations to Chris Howard, CFA, CPA, CFP® for an insightful article that sheds light on the importance of tax planning in wealth management! It’s a timely reminder that tax season should take place year around for advisors and their teams. It’s also more than just a number-crunching exercise; it’s a golden opportunity for financial advisors to strengthen client relationships and showcase their dedication to clients’ long-term financial health. A recent survey revealed that over 35% of advisors consider tax planning as the most underutilized service, despite its significant role in wealth-building. Effective tax planning is a continuous process that can have a profound impact on clients’ financial outcomes. In his article in AdvisorHub, Chris proposes these strategies: Prioritize Tax Efficiency: Use methods like the backdoor Roth IRA and strategic mutual fund purchases to manage taxes efficiently. Maximize Client Philanthropy: Leverage donor-advised funds to balance capital gains and enhance charitable deductions, offering both immediate and future advantages. Integrating tax planning into a comprehensive wealth management framework allows financial advisors to act as the quarterback of their clients' financial team, addressing all facets of their financial well-being.
