In this episode (#134) of the Transition To RIA question & answer series we expand upon five critical ways advisors can make mistakes when transitioning their practices to the RIA model, and how to avoid them:

1. Not thoroughly researching the RIA model to understand if it is a fit for your practice;
2. Not thoroughly researching your options of how to transition into it;
3. Misjudging your client loyalty;
4. Not getting proper legal advice on how to navigate the departure from your current firm;
5. Not following a time-tested approach on how to navigate a transition successfully.

Come take a listen!
