What is the payout in the RIA model?

Simple question, not so simple answer.

To perform an accurate comparison, you must:

• Properly calculate your current payout.
• Understand how payouts are expressed in the RIA model (spoiler: there is far less uniformity in the RIA space.)
• Consider what value is provided to you for the payout, and what you’re responsible for sourcing yourself.
• Consider how the resulting payout figures compare across channels and offerings.

In this episode of the Transition To RIA question and answer series, I expand on each of these variables.

Come take a listen!
