I’ve been asked, “what if I don’t change?”
Well, that is an option.
Someone smarter than me once said, “The easy answer is rarely the right one and the right answer is rarely the easy one.”
I think the times are gone where being an advisor was about asset allocation and sales practices. We used to be the source of investment information, but Google makes that skill irrelevant.
We can add value to the client who is looking for advice. We can add value to the client who wants an allocation to alternatives but wants to keep the bulk of assets at a low-cost provider (or is stuck in a 401k, while they work). We can add value reviewing current and recommended insurance policies.
So if you keep your practice “as is”, that’s fine with me, but your clients may move to a firm like mine.
Feel free to share my contact info :-).
