Growth by Intelligent Design

 

Despite the many economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdowns of 2020, the registered investment advisor community continued to see steady growth in 2020 and 2021. Not only was there an increased demand for advice but the industry at a large grew with over 14,000 Security and Exchange Commission – registered advisors.

However, this period of accelerated growth came with its own set of challenges for the registered investment advisor community. Looking back to March 2020, leaders at RIAs big or small didn't have a blueprint on how to best manage the many facets of their business but a global pandemic most certainly forced them to look inward and accelerate key developments. The convergence of investment management and technology reshaped the advisory business over this tumultuous time and RIAs with increased emotional intelligence grew by design.   

Three months into 2022, we can all agree that this year too is going be challenging. The resurgence of inflation as a concern for consumers, businesses, and investors has dominated headlines in our inboxes since October '21 but come December '21, the Consumer Price Index rose to 7%. To make matters worse, the 60/40 portfolio had its worst slide since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020.

With tensions rising on the international front, market volatility is expected. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been the most important geopolitical event since fall of the Iron Curtain. Any war is a humanitarian crisis but it's investment implications cannot be ignored. Investment teams at RIAs are in the midst of watching their client portfolios with a fine-tooth comb and will ultimately, will have to readjust investment positions with their clients' interest in mind. 

With these concerns still developing and evolving by the minute, we at the RIA Institute have to ask: does opportunity for growth lie within these adversities? 

We at the RIA Institute invite you to join us and other like-minded RIAs in a safe, socially distanced setting for a candid discussion on these and other relevant topics at our RIA Institute's East Coast Seminar on Thursday, May 26th at the Park Hyatt Washington, D.C.
