Ever been told you shouldn't go the RIA route because you won't get any support? You'll be on your own? You'll be so busy doing administrative tasks you won't have time to be an advisor?

In this episode of the Transition To RIA question and answer series, I explain what these offerings are and when they might be a fit for your practice

Come take a listen!
