WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE INDEPENDENT RIA MODEL?

After helping thousands of advisors transition to independence, we're confident
that we can help answer your most pressing questions about the RIA model.

Expand All Collapse All
What are the potential benefits of the independent RIA model?

Better economics, greater autonomy, and the ability to build financial value in
an independent business are some of the benefits investment advisors cited after
going independent.2 Learn more about the benefits of becoming an independent
financial advisor.

What options do financial advisors have for going independent?

Whether you want to work for an existing RIA firm or build your own from
scratch, look for options that match your priorities. The five core RIA business
models allow you to:

 * Join an RIA as an employee
 * Affiliate with an established RIA
 * Share firm ownership with an equity partner
 * Outsource tasks to a platform provider
 * Create your own RIA firm

A Schwab Business Development Officer can help you determine which option is
right for you and provide you with support and guidance throughout your
transition.

What should financial advisors look for in an RIA custodian?

Factors like industry experience, technology, security, education, business
development resources, and other high-value services can make the right
custodian a game changer for your practice. Learn how to choose an RIA
custodian.

What support does Schwab Advisor Services™ offer independent RIAs?

We offer industry-leading technology, proven stability, and a wide range of
investment products and wealth management solutions that help meet the unique
needs of independent RIAs. In addition, our Business Consulting and Education
team offers support to help you reach your goals for independence and grow your
firm. Discover how Schwab can support you.

About the 2024 RIA Benchmarking Study 
Schwab designed the RIA Benchmarking Study to capture insights in the RIA
industry based on survey responses from individual firms. The 2024 study
provides information on topics such as asset and revenue growth, sources of new
clients, products and pricing, staffing, compensation, marketing, technology,
and financial performance. Since the inception of the study in 2006, more than
4,800 firms have participated, with many repeat participants. Fielded from
January to March 2024, the study contains self-reported data from 1,304 firms
that custody their assets with Schwab and represents $2 trillion in assets under
management, making this the leading study in the RIA industry. Schwab did not
independently verify or validate the self-reported information. Participant
firms represent various sizes and business models. They are categorized into
peer groups by AUM size. The study is part of Schwab Business Consulting and
Education, a practice management offering for RIAs. Grounded in the best
practices of leading independent advisory firms, Business Consulting and
Education provides insight, guidance, tools, and resources to help RIAs
strategically manage and grow their firms.
