Advisors get more calls today from RIA buyers and capital providers than fund wholesalers. 📈 We often hear that a seller is sitting on a term sheet and are feeling a bit paralyzed. "They’re intrigued in a transaction, but all of a sudden it went from first date to term sheet faster than they realized, and some potential sellers start to get anxious," said Ryan Halls, co-founder of Hue Partners. "We’re hearing from a lot of people who got serious fast ... and they want help." Founders want the peace of mind knowing that what is in front of them is best for their clients, their team and shareholders. They want to flip over every rock and check every box before making the biggest decision on their once-in-a-lifetime transaction. "There’s the brain tug, the heart tug and the gut tug," Teresa G. Carey - SSCC, CPAC, founder and executive coach at PerformancePointe, Inc.. "Yes we’re looking at the data and the numbers, but we better also be paying attention to what our heart and our gut are telling us." What a fun discussion with Sam Bojarski at Citywire RIA on such a relevant topic for RIA founders. Most are feeling this in their heart and gut, but few are talking about it!

Next up from the Alma Spotlight archive: Dru Danford, CA(SA), CFA Head of Investment Banking at Liberum. “London is top of ECM deal activity in Europe - we should be proud of this fact. I’m not going to deny that IPO levels are low, but firstly London is not alone, and secondly, the City is still at the top of the ECM deal activity league table in Europe for 2023. In my view, we need to be shouting more about the positives here - our markets still have more international companies than other major exchanges and attract relatively more international capital than any other market.” Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dPHbMqhb
