Investment Practice Exit Strategy

There are many things to consider as an investment advisor contemplating an investment practice exit strategy. One of the more difficult choices in determining your exit strategy is whether to transition your practice to someone within the firm or outside the firm--assuming you have that option. The choices and options tend to get even more difficult the longer you put off making your decision on how you will handle this important event.

If your choice is to transition outside the firm, you need to filter emotional, professional and financial concerns through a third party as you develop an exit strategy. We work hard at adviserXchange to develop trust with each of our clients in an effort to help them develop and execute the most optimal plan based upon their goals and objectives. You will see our commitment to an effective transition from day one when you meet with an adviserXchange adviser.

You will find that each exit strategy is unique and requires a personal touch. We will first look at your business profile and personal objectives to help you sketch out a plan that is realistic for your situation. Our goal is not to rush you out the door into retirement--or whatever the objective may be--if that is not your desire. You may want a strategy that allows you to work as a part- or full-time investment advisor for a few years before exiting the practice altogether.

An additional benefit from having an exit strategy for your investment practice already in place is that it will also help you deal with those much-dreaded unplanned events. Your practice needs to be able to move on during a serious illness or other contingency that cannot be anticipated. By having your plan already in place, you and your family will be much better prepared to deal with any such unplanned events should they come about.
