Benchmark your firm’s financial performance and compensation plans
All adviser participants receive a complimentary copy of the study and access to the Adviser Research Dashboard
APR 28, 2020

InvestmentNews Research’s mission is to provide advisory firms with the industry’s most comprehensive and informative practice management resources and benchmarking reports.

Our 2020 benchmarking research initiative is underway, and we’re inviting all financial advisory firms to participate in the 2020 Annual Adviser Benchmarking Survey.

This year we are publishing our Study of Pricing & Profitability – a guide for firms looking to understand how to strategically drive growth and boost their firm’s performance. Due to popular demand, we are again including a truncated set of questions on human capital strategies to produce an update to our Adviser Compensation & Staffing Study.

Study participants will receive complimentary PDF copies of both research reports – the 2020 Study of Profitability & Pricing and the 2020 Adviser Compensation & Staffing Study Update.

In addition, all participants will receive immediate access to the InvestmentNews Adviser Research Dashboard for one full year (a $999 value) and automatic consideration for a Best Practices award.

Our goal is to ensure that participating firms receive the best possible return on a valuable investment – their time. We hope that your firm is able to reap the benefits of participation.
