Episode 5 of RIA+ is out! I feel very fortunate that industry icon Mark Tibergien took the time to join the show and offer a different - but much-needed - perspective on RIA mergers and acquisitions. M&A has dramatically reshaped the RIA landscape over the last several years, with hundreds of deals taking place annually. Now, however, the best leaders in the RIA industry are focused less on just "the art of the deal," according to Mark. Most importantly, they are placing an even greater emphasis on "the art of the manage." It may seem like a subtle shift, but it's ultimately the difference between executing a successful transaction, and building a vibrant, long-term enterprise where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In addition to M&A, Mark and I also talk about the differences between good and great RIAs, how RIA leaders can learn from Danny Meyer's "hospitality quotient" when recruiting and adding staff, and how to define a truly great client experience.
