I am frequently asked how the economics of the Registered Investment Advisor ("RIA") model compare to the broker/dealer model.

The first step in a comparison is to calculate your existing broker/dealer payout.

What eventually flows to your pocket, is often far different from what the grid table would indicate.

In this episode of the Transition To RIA question and answer series, I explain how to calculate your true net payout.

Come take a listen!
