It’s been more than two months since LPL Financial rocked the US wealth management world by acquiring broker-dealer rival Commonwealth Financial Network. InvestmentNews senior columnist Bruce Kelly sits down with colleague James Burton to discuss the aftermath, including angry Reddit chat groups and aggressive recruiters.
Bruce chats with reporter Andrew Cohen, who has covered the RIA industry for InvestmentNews since late March, while crossing over with his old beat covering sports business as the trendy asset class just hit a record-breaking $10 billion team sale.
Bruce speaks to Osaic CEO Jamie Price about the long-term outlook driving M&A activity and why financial advisors, it turns out, are the most important part of the equation.
Bruce sits down with Brad Bueermann, CEO and founder of FP Transitions, to discuss all things M&A and how recent volatility will impact deal structure and valuations.
