TradePMR, which provides technology and custodial services to registered investment advisors, said it’s partnering with FP Transitions, a succession planning firm, to provide consulting services to advisors on the TradePMR Fusion platform.
The consulting service aims to help RIAs and breakaways with their organizational structure, compensation and entity design.
